Today, 10 flights are scheduled from Tehran to Adana, but none of them have it as their final destination. As direct flights to Antalya are still banned, flights first land in Adana. Even though charters to Antalya are marketed in Iran, this story repeats itself every year. #Iranpic.twitter.com/kz6P7H5rYP
