Iran closes airspace again: Tehran cites 'operational safety'; global flights face delays, detours
Iran has once again laid down parts of the airspace, including the routes near Tehran, citing reliability problems between regional tensions. This decision has caused significant disruption to global airlines, forcing them to rebuild flights and defer passengers around the world. Many international carriers confirmed that they had to accommodate their flying roads or interrupt operations in the Iranian airspace to secure passenger safety. Civil Aviation Authority of Iran said the closure is a precaution to prevent risk due to unpaid operating issues.
