Iran Rescinds Nationwide Airspace Ban Following Israeli Aggression
Iran has resumed operations in its airspace for both domestic and international flights, after previously closing it last month due to actions by Israel characterized as aggressive.
Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization has announced that the country’s airport operations will recommence this Friday at Tehran’s Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini International Airports, in addition to facilities located in the northern, eastern, western, and southern regions.
Airports across Iran, with the exception of those located in Isfahan and Tabriz, will maintain a schedule for domestic and international flights from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Flydubai flight FZ1819 from the United Arab Emirates marked the first aircraft to touch down at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on Friday, following a 21-day suspension.
The organization announced that airports in Isfahan and Tabriz are set to recommence operations as soon as the essential infrastructure is prepared.
Officials have announced the reopening of airspace in central and western Iran for international overflights, effective during specified hours.
Iran has already authorized international overflights around the clock in its eastern region, where airports are also functioning without any restrictions.
Iran completely shut its airspace last month following an offensive by Israel on June 13.
The Israeli government initiated a comprehensive offensive on Iranian territory, targeting multiple military and nuclear facilities. The attacks resulted in the deaths of numerous senior military officials, nuclear scientists, and also affected ordinary civilians.
The Iranian military forces launched a barrage of new-generation missiles, effectively targeting the regime’s military and industrial infrastructure in a calculated response.
Flights have resumed following the Israeli government’s decision to implement a unilateral ceasefire, as part of an agreement proposed by Washington on June 24.
