Flight operations at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport have resumed normalcy as of 5 a.m. on Wednesday, as confirmed by the airport city company. This development marks a significant step in the de-escalation of the ongoing US-Israel-Iran military conflict that had resulted in a prolonged suspension of flights. While this resumption suggests a reduction in immediate threats to the airport, international carriers such as Lufthansa continue to bypass Iranian airspace due to lingering security concerns. The return to normal operations comes amid the ongoing fragile ceasefire and phased reopening of Iranian airspace since April.
