Iran resumes flights as US-Iran ceasefire holds after two-month war closure
Flights resumed at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport on April 25 as a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States held steady following a war that began February 28, 2026. Iranian airspace had been largely closed for nearly two months, suspending all passenger flights and forcing widespread aviation rerouting across the Middle East. The reopening marks a potential de-escalation in one of the year's most significant regional conflicts and restores a critical transportation hub for the region's connectivity. The ceasefire's durability remains uncertain, with both sides maintaining military readiness.
