Tehran, Iran – July, 2025 — The Iranian government has officially announced the reopening of its airspace to commercial flights after a period of closure triggered by regional hostilities.
This decision, made public by the Iranian Civil Aviation Authority on Thursday, signals a return to normalcy following the de-escalation of military tensions that had gripped parts of the Middle East in recent weeks.
The airspace had been shut down amid fears of missile strikes and aerial confrontations during a conflict involving Iran and neighboring states. The closure disrupted international flight routes, forcing global airlines to divert planes, resulting in extended flight times and higher operational costs.
“The security situation has sufficiently improved, and with regional stability returning, the Iranian airspace is now deemed safe for civilian aviation,” the statement from Iranian authorities read.
Aviation experts and regional airlines have welcomed the development, noting that the reopening will restore critical flight corridors connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and help ease global air traffic disruptions.
The move is also seen as part of broader diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and rebuild economic cooperation in the region.
