After more than 50 days of suspended air traffic due to regional instability, Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport has resumed receiving and dispatching commercial flights. This marks one of the first signs of a return to normal life amid a fragile ongoing ceasefire.

The Civil Aviation Organization of Iran has developed a special four-phase strategy aimed at fully restoring air traffic while maintaining a high level of safety. Authorities emphasize that the process will be gradual, with the expansion of flight routes directly dependent on the stability of the geopolitical situation.

According to Flightradar24 data, the first resumed routes include flights to key regional hubs. On Saturday morning, three flights departed from Tehran to Istanbul, while initial flights to Muscat and Medina have also been officially confirmed.

The resumption of these routes is critically important for restoring transport links between Iran and neighboring countries. The first flights are being closely monitored to assess the readiness of infrastructure for increasing passenger traffic.
