Iran has reopened its airspace to flights and resumed domestic and international flights across the country, the country’s Civil Aviation Organization said on Friday.
Following “inter-agency coordination and numerous meetings of aviation industry stakeholders,” Iran’s aviation authorities declared Tehran’s Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports, as well as other airports, operational and ready to provide flight services, the Iranian news agency IRNA reported, citing a statement from the Civil Aviation Organization.
Flights will now operate as scheduled “from all airports in the country, except Isfahan and Tabriz airports, during the day from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m..”
“Once the infrastructure of Isfahan and Tabriz airports is ready and in the absence of other restrictions, these two airports will also join the country’s air transport network,” the statement added.
The 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran erupted on June 13 when Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. Tehran retaliated with missile and drone strikes, while the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites.
The conflict was halted by a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that took effect on June 24.
