Looks like Iranian air traffic is finally waking up from a nearly three-week slumber! After Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13, the country’s airspace was shut down for international flights, and airports were mostly silent. But starting July 3, most Iranian airports reopened, and the airspace is now open for transit flights. However, airports in Isfahan and Tabriz are still closed, playing hard to get.
But wait, there’s more! Flydubai, a low-cost carrier from the United Arab Emirates, landed on July 4 at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport, marking the first international flight after a 20-day pause. It’s like someone hit the reset button on Iran’s air traffic. Flydubai is a sister company to Emirates, so we can guess things are slowly getting back to normal.
Authorities claim this signals stability and effective crisis management, but is it really? The flight ban was imposed due to Israeli attacks, and now everything’s back to normal as if nothing happened. Is this bravery or just pressure to get the economy moving? And what about the 12 Iranian pilgrims detained in Medina? These questions hang in the air as planes take off again.
Either way, if you thought Iran would stay grounded forever, think again. Air traffic is returning, but with a dose of uncertainty and questions waiting for answers. So, what do you think – is this a fresh start or just a temporary breather before the next blow? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s ready to fly and who’s happy staying on the ground!
