In a positive turn following a 12-day conflict, Iran has fully reopened its airspace after a ceasefire with Israel. The Civil Aviation Organization announced that all restrictions have been lifted, allowing domestic and international flights to operate at pre-war levels.
Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport is now running 24/7, meaning airlines and travel agencies can offer round-the-clock flight services and ticket sales. This move is a major step toward restoring normalcy in travel and commerce.
Initially, Iran closed its airspace on June 13 following airstrikes on Tehran and other areas. After the conflict ended on June 24 with a ceasefire, a phased reopening began on June 26, gradually bringing airports back to regular operations. By mid-July, nearly all airports, including Mehrabad, had resumed full services.
This development signals a fresh start for the region, offering relief to travelers and boosting confidence in travel-related businesses. Buckle up and get ready to soar—these skies are open once again! ✈️
