Iran has postponed the full reopening of its airspace until Saturday afternoon to ensure the safety and security of passengers and flights, according to the official news agency IRNA.
Majid Akhavan, spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, stated that while the country’s eastern airspace has been reopened to domestic and international flights, the northern, southern, and western regions will remain closed until 2 p.m. local time on Saturday (1030 GMT).
The ministry had previously announced on Wednesday the reopening of its eastern airspace, aiming to gradually restore air traffic to pre-conflict levels.
Iran closed its airspace on June 13 following airstrikes on Tehran and other areas. After a 12-day aerial conflict, a ceasefire was achieved on Tuesday.
