Iran fully reopens airspace after ceasefire deal with Israel
Iran's Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) announced on August 2 that it had lifted all remaining restrictions on its airspace, which were imposed during the 12-day conflict with Israel.
In a statement posted on its official website, the CAO said domestic and international flight operations have returned to pre-conflict levels. Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport has also resumed 24-hour operations. “Airlines and travel agencies can now resume full flight services and sell tickets around the clock,” the statement said.
Iran closed its airspace on June 13 after Israel launched airstrikes on the capital Tehran and other areas. The conflict ended with a ceasefire on June 24. The reopening of Iran's airspace began in phases on June 26, with airports gradually returning to normal operations.
On July 17, the CAO announced that all airports across Iran had resumed full operations, except for Mehrabad International Airport, which still maintains a limited schedule from 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time (7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Hanoi time).
