Tehran, Apr 18 (V7N) — Six major airports in Iran have resumed operations following a partial reopening of airspace in the eastern part of the country, according to Iranian media reports on Saturday.

The report, carried by Iran International citing an official from the Iranian Airlines Association, said flight operations are gradually being restored as conditions improve.

The reopened airports include:

  • Imam Khomeini International Airport

  • Mehrabad International Airport

  • Mashhad International Airport

  • Birjand International Airport

Flight operations gradually resuming

The secretary of the airlines association said airport operations are being restarted in phases as the situation stabilizes. Airlines are reportedly preparing to resume both domestic and international flights.
