Iran resumed domestic and international flights on Thursday following a brief suspension caused by its missile attack on Israel, state media reported.
The Islamic Republic launched 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday night, marking its second direct military strike on the country.
The first occurred in April and involved a combined missile and drone attack.
Flights were grounded across Iran due to security concerns, but operations resumed at 5:00 a.m. local time (0130 GMT) on Thursday.
A spokesman for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation, Jafar Yazarloo, confirmed the decision, stating, “After ensuring favourable and safe flight conditions, airlines are allowed to carry out flight operations,” as quoted by the official IRNA news agency.
In response to the escalating tensions, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency advised European carriers to avoid Iranian airspace until at least October 31, pending further review.
