Iran has lifted all remaining airspace restrictions imposed during its 12-day conflict with Israel, restoring full domestic and international flight operations.
Iran's Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) announced on Saturday that all airspace limitations have been removed, marking the full resumption of domestic and international flights disrupted during last month’s military conflict with Israel.
"From now on, all airlines and travel agencies can once again offer 24-hour flight services and ticket sales," the CAO said in a statement posted on its official website.
The update confirms that Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport has resumed round-the-clock operations, becoming the final airport to return to normal service.
Iran initially closed its airspace on 13 June, after Israeli airstrikes targeted locations in Tehran and other cities. The 12-day conflict concluded with a ceasefire on 24 June.
The phased reopening began on 26 June, with operations gradually restored across the country. On 17 July, the CAO confirmed that all airports were back online, except for Mehrabad, which remained on a restricted schedule of 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Iran’s aviation sector is now operating at pre-conflict capacity, with all restrictions officially lifted.
