Dutch airline KLM said it would stop flights to Tehran due to “negative results and financial forecasts” following the withdrawal of the US from the Iranian nuclear agreement. KLM, which is part of Air France KLM group, made this statement in a laconic communique posted today on the company’s website. The last KLM flight to Tehran will be on September 22 from Amsterdam with a return on September 23.
