However, following Iran's revenge missile attack, only one commercial flight continued for Tehran overnight from Friday through Saturday, as the two countries continued their bombings.
Mahan Air, an Iranian air carrier sanctioned by the West, left Bangkok in Thailand on Friday evening and landed at “Airport. Imam Khomeini” of Tehran in the early hours of Saturday.
Thousands Worldwide Followed ERM50 live on flight tracking sites such as FlightRadar and FlightAware, while flying only during minutes when air space over the Middle East was completely empty, fearing the plane would collapse.
During the journey, the plane disappeared from the tracking system from time to time and reports that it has probably disabled its transponders for security reasons while it was in Iranian airspace and thus disappeared from tracking systems.
One reason why Mahan Air's flight is disturbing is that the airline has been constantly on the political agenda and has been the target of widespread sanctions. /Periscope/
