+12,000 flights cancelled during Iran-Israel war
Shafaq News – Tehran On Wednesday, Iran's Civil Aviation Organization announced the cancellation of 12,029 domestic and international flights between June 11 and July 1, as the 12-day conflict with Israel caused widespread disruption across the country's air traffic network. According to the organization, around 839,000 tickets were voided, with refunds processed for 800,000 passengers. The total value of the canceled flights was also estimated at 6,100 billion tomans (approximately $70.2 million). The steep drop in air traffic followed Israeli strikes on June 13, which hit several locations inside Iranian territory, including aviation infrastructure. Among the targets were major airports, prompting the temporary closure of Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport and Tabriz Shahid Madani International Airport. The war also caused significant aviation disruptions across the Middle East, affecting both civilian and commercial flight routes. Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and several Gulf countries experienced temporary airspace restrictions, rerouted flights, and operational suspensions.

Iran resumes international flights after a 20-day suspension

(AP Photo/Vahid Salemi) TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's Imam Khomeini International Airport has welcomed its first foreign flight since the resumption of international air travel after a 20-day suspension, local media reported Friday. According to Student News Network, Mehdi Ramezani, spokesperson for Iran's Civil Aviation Organization, confirmed the Flydubai flight from the United Arab Emirates landed on Wednesday, after extensive security and diplomatic coordination. The landing marks a 'new phase of stability' for Iran's aviation sector, Ramezani said, after recent tensions with Israel. He added that it represented a return to calm and intelligent management of the nation's airspace. International flights will gradually resume to specific destinations in coordination with authorities, to meet public needs and restore air links, he said. Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire last month after a bloody 12-day conflict that saw Israel striking hundreds of Iranian military infrastructure targets and nuclear-related sites, and Iran firing missiles at Israel in return. The truce was brokered by the U.S. after it dropped 30,000-pound 'bunker-busting' bombs on three of Iran's key nuclear sites. The Associated Press
