Iran partially opened its airspace for the first time since February 28

Iran's aviation authorities have partially opened their airspace to civil aviation for the first time since February 28, with flights permitted in the eastern part of the country.

This was reported by TASS, citing a source in air traffic control services in the Middle East.

"Operations have resumed as normal in the eastern part of Iran's airspace, while the western part remains closed," the agency's source said, referring to the corresponding decision by the authorities. He noted that several conditions apply to flights, including the requirement to identify the aircraft five minutes before it enters the airspace of the Islamic Republic, as well as establishing communication with dispatchers of the neighboring country five minutes before exiting Iranian airspace. "This procedure is in effect until the morning of Saturday, April 25," the source indicated.

The skies over Iran were closed in the first half of the day on February 28 after the United States and Israel launched a military operation. Major cities of the republic, including Tehran, came under strikes.
