Reuters - Germany�s Lufthansa on Friday said that flights to Teheran were suspended until March 28, extending a ban of flights over Iran after a Ukranian airliner was shot down last week.

Lufthansa, the only major European carrier flying to Iran since 2018, had initially suspended flights until the end of January. The company�s Austrian Airlines business is also adhering to the suspension, it said.

All 176 passengers and crew aboard the Ukraine International Airlines plane were killed after being shot down by a missile soon after take-off from Tehran.
