Iran resumed operations at its airport on Thursday, which had been suspended following a missile attack on Israel, state media reported.
The Islamic Republic fired 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday night, its second direct attack after a similar missile and drone strike in April.
For safety reasons, both domestic and international flights were suspended until 5 a.m. local time (1:30 p.m. Japan time) on Thursday. Flights resumed after Iran’s Civil Aviation Authority deemed the situation safe.
Iranian Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Jafar Yazarloo said the restrictions had been lifted and confirmed the resumption of flight operations. “Airlines will be allowed to operate after ensuring good and safe flight conditions and lifting restrictions,” Yazarloo said, according to state news agency IRNA.
Despite the resumption of domestic flights within Iran, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has advised European airlines to avoid Iranian airspace until at least October 31, and the situation remains uncertain. This will be considered. Similar warnings have been issued for Israeli and Lebanese airspace in recent days due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
