Iran is set to gradually reopen its airspace in four distinct phases after nearly two months of closure, primarily due to disruptions caused by recent regional conflicts. According to the Tasnim news agency, the reopening plan will begin with allowing transit flights to pass through Iranian airspace. The first phase will be followed by the resumption of flights from eastern airports. In the third phase, operations will resume from Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports in Tehran, while the final phase will allow flights from other western airports across the country. Despite these plans, ticket sales for flights remain suspended, and authorities have not provided a specific timeline for when the reopening will commence. Currently, Iran's airspace has been closed to normal commercial traffic since February 28, following military strikes by the United States and Israel. Only a limited number of flights are being operated under prior approval, and airlines are rerouting flights around Iran due to safety concerns.
