Iran Reopens Part of Airspace to International Flights
Israa Farhan
Iran has reopened a portion of its airspace to international flights, marking a cautious step toward normalization amid a fragile ceasefire with Israel.
The decision, announced on Saturday, comes five days after the ceasefire took effect and follows weeks of heightened military tensions.
According to Majid Ikhwan, spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Transportation, the country has
reopened
its central and western air corridors exclusively for foreign airlines operating international routes. The announcement was made via the state-run IRNA news agency.
Flight activity had already resumed gradually on Wednesday but was initially restricted to Iran's eastern regions. However, operations over key areas, including the capital Tehran, remain suspended. Both of Tehran's major airports continue to be closed, and no timeline has been given for the full restoration of air traffic across the country.
Iran had shut down its airspace on June 13 after an Israeli military strike targeted sites within Iranian territory, escalating tensions in the region.
The temporary closure had disrupted numerous international flight paths, prompting several global airlines to reroute their services to avoid Iranian airspace.
