Iran has lifted flight restrictions and resumed civilian air traffic after the latest military escalation with Israel, reopening an airspace that had been subject to a nationwide ban. The move restores operations across the country, including at Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport.
The decision was taken by Iran’s civil aviation authorities after they said the conditions required for reopening had returned. A spokesperson for Imam Khomeini Airport told ILNA that the situation was back to normal and flights were operating again. For airlines, the change should ease rerouting, cancellations and ground delays linked to the earlier shutdown.
The restriction had been imposed amid the sharp deterioration in the Iran-Israel conflict, disrupting civilian aviation in a key part of the Middle East. The reopening is operationally significant for carriers serving Iran and for network planning across regional routes, where even short-lived airspace closures can force immediate schedule changes.
