Iran’s airspace is officially back in business! 🎉 The country’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) announced Saturday that all flight restrictions imposed during its 12-day conflict with Israel have been lifted. Domestic and international flights are now operating at pre-war levels, with Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport resuming 24/7 operations for the first time since June.
✈️ "From now on, all airlines can offer round-the-clock services again," the CAO confirmed, signaling a return to normalcy for travelers and airlines. The move comes after a phased reopening that began June 26, following a ceasefire agreement on June 24.
📅 The conflict, which started with Israeli airstrikes on June 13, led to Iran’s initial airspace shutdown. While most airports resumed operations weeks ago, Mehrabad had kept limited hours until this weekend. Now, flight paths over Iran—a key corridor for Asia-Europe travel—are fully restored, easing logistics for global carriers.
🌍 For wanderlust-driven travelers and aviation pros, this update means smoother journeys and fewer detours. Time to update those travel apps! 📲
