Imam Khomeini International Airport Resumes Flights After 57-Day Closure

Tehran. Flights have resumed at Imam Khomeini International Airport in Iran's capital, Tehran, after a 57-day closure. Airspace, which was closed due to the war, was reopened a few days ago, and limited flights have resumed.

Normally, 100 to 150 flights operate daily at this airport, but currently, only about 10 to 15 flights are taking place. Although passenger traffic appears to be gradually increasing, the situation has not yet returned to normal.

Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, used for domestic flights, was repeatedly attacked during the war. Airports in areas including Tabriz and Urmia were also targeted.

Some civilian aircraft were reportedly damaged during the conflict. This is a further significant blow to Iran's aviation sector, which has been suffering from the effects of international sanctions for a long time.
