Tehran, Jul 4 (EFE).- Iran has almost completely reopened its airspace, including international flights in Tehran, after closing it in mid-June after the outbreak of a war with Israel that lasted 12 days.
“Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports, along with the airports in the north, east, west, and south of the country, have resumed operations,” state news agency IRNA reported early Friday.
The flight services were resumed following inter-agency coordination and meetings of aviation industry stakeholders, through the approval of the Civil Aviation Organization Coordination Committee and detailed security and safety reviews in the current conditions of the country, the agency added.
International and domestic flights will operate from 5 am to 6 pm.
However, airports in Tabriz, in the northwest, and Isfahan, in central Iran, remain closed due to damage to their infrastructure in the Israeli attacks.
Iran closed its airspace on June 13 when Israel launched a military offensive against Iran, sparking a 12-day war that ended after a ceasefire was announced by US President Donald Trump.
At least 935 people, including 38 children, were killed in the conflict in Iran and 28 in Israel. EFE
