Fly from Arabia, via Tehran (6)

I believe the answer is:

aviate

'fly' is the definition.
('aviate' can be a synonym of 'fly')

'from arabia via tehran' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AVIATE' is hidden in the letters of 'arabia via tehran'.

(Other definitions for aviate that I've seen before include "Fly" , "Pilot a plane" , "Ride the Zephyr, say" , "Handle jumbo, maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
