Tehran: The reopening of Iranian airspace a few days ago has allowed limited operations to restart at the country’s primary international gateway. While the airport typically handles between 100 to 150 flights daily, current activity remains subdued, with only 10 to 15 flights operating each day.
Despite the reduced numbers, the gradual return of passengers and aircraft signals the beginning of recovery for Iran’s aviation sector, which has been heavily impacted by the recent conflict.
The resumption of flights comes amid extensive infrastructure damage across the country. Iran’s secondary airport in the capital, Mehrabad Airport, which mainly serves domestic routes, was struck multiple times during the war. Other regional airports, including those in Tabriz and Urmia, were also targeted.
