“Commercial flights resume for the first time since the conflict with the US and Israel began about two months ago.”

“Iran’s state-run television reported that flights for Istanbul, Muscat and the Saudi Arabian city of Medina took off from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on Saturday.”

“Iran’s state-owned carrier, Iran Air, operated its inaugural flight from Tehran to the second-largest city of Mashhad after a 56-day hiatus, state-run IRNA news service said in a series of Telegram posts, adding that more flights are scheduled for Baku, Najaf, Baghdad and Doha in the coming days.”

“Mohammad Amirani, CEO of the Iran Airports and Air Navigation Company, said the country’s eastern side – which borders Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan – will be prioritised for domestic and transit flights.”

“Authorities said they had started consultations with foreign airlines to clarify routes and to re-attract transit flights as a fragile ceasefire with the US continues, while efforts for more talks between Tehran and Washington continue in Pakistan.”

“Countries including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates partially reopened their airspaces days after attacks began on February 28, with schedules further expanding in the weeks that followed.”

“The head of the International Energy Agency Fatih Birol warned earlier this month that Europe has “maybe six weeks or so [of] jet fuel left” and that flight cancellations could commence “soon” without a shift in supplies.”
