Iran Reopens Central And Western Airspace To International Transit Flights After Israel Ceasefire
Iran has reopened its central and western airspace to international transit flights, state-run Nour News reported on Saturday. The move comes days after a ceasefire was reached in the conflict between Iran and Israel, which had severely disrupted regional air traffic and prompted many international airlines to avoid Iranian airspace. Tehran had shut its skies on June 13, following a large-scale bombing campaign by Israel. The closure caused widespread flight diversions across the Middle East. Despite Iran's decision to reopen its airspace, Dubai-based Emirates airline announced on Saturday that it would extend the suspension of its flights to and from Tehran until July 5, citing continued uncertainty in the region. The airline had already faced disruptions earlier in the week, rerouting some flights on June 23 as a precaution. However, Emirates confirmed that its services to Baghdad and Basra in Iraq will resume as scheduled on July 1 and 2, respectively. The recent escalation between Iran and Israel in mid-June led to heightened tensions and intermittent air travel disruptions across the Middle East. While the ceasefire has eased some restrictions, airlines continue to operate with caution in the region.

UAE Flights: Air Arabia Starts Resuming Operations
Sharjah-based airline Air Arabia confirmed on Wednesday that it has started resuming operations on previously suspended flights. 'As regional airspace continues to open, Air Arabia is gradually resuming operations. Customers are advised to visit to check the latest updates and their flight status. Affected passengers will be notified directly via SMS and email,' the airline said. 'Air Arabia remains fully committed to the safety of our customers and crew, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this period,' the airline added. In an earlier update, the airline said it had temporarily suspended all flights to and from Iran, Iraq, Russia, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan until June 30. Jordan flights were on hold until June 26. Earlier today, Dubai-based carrier flydubai said it will resume operations to the Syrian capital from June 26, 2025. This move comes as more airspace in the region reopens and restrictions are lifted. The carrier plans to resume its full schedule across the network from July 1, following the completion of all necessary assessments. 'This remains a developing situation, and both flight and network planning are continuously reviewed, with flydubai operating within approved international air corridors and adjusting frequencies as required,' the airline said. In Abu Dhabi, Etihad flights to Tel Aviv, will remain suspended until July 15, the Abu Dhabi-based airline said. Meanwhile, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has cancelled flights to and from the UAE until June 30, in line with a similar move by Hungarian carrier Wizz Air. Dubai's flagship carrier, Emirates, announced on Tuesday that its regularly scheduled flight operations have fully resumed, experiencing only 'minimal disruptions'.
