Iran is set to reopen its national airspace in a phased, four-stage plan after disruptions caused by recent regional conflicts. The initial phase will permit transit flights, followed by a second stage allowing operations from eastern airports. The third phase will expand to major airports, including Mehrabad International Airport and Imam Khomeini International Airport, while the final stage will reopen additional Western aviation hubs. Despite the framework being established, ticket sales remain suspended, and no specific timeline for the first phase has been provided. Since February 28, Iranian airspace has largely been closed to commercial traffic due to military strikes by the United States and Israel, leading to significant rerouting by global airlines to ensure safety.
