The report in today's Iran daily quotes Mohammad Khodakarami, deputy head of Iran's civil aviation authority, as saying British Airways officials visited Tehran on Tuesday to discuss resumption of flights. He did not elaborate.
Khodakarami also said both Air France and Dutch flagship KLM have already announced their readiness to resume flights to Iran.
European carriers stopped their flights to Iran after the West imposed sanctions on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.
Currently Iran's national carrier, Iran Air has three weekly flights to London as well as two weekly flights each to Paris and Amsterdam.
