First flights cross Iranian skies in weeks as 6 airports reopen

Just days before the two-week ceasefire is set to expire, there are some positive indications alongside the complex situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

The eastern airspace of the country has been reopened, and flight radar information indicates at least two flights across Iranian skies in the past few hours - another important sign, reports Al Jazeera.

In addition to the two airports already mentioned, four others have also been said to be reopened, making it six in total.

The area adjacent to Mehrabad airport witnessed heavy bombardment during the 40 days of war by US and Israeli strikes, so the fact that it is still operational is a significant development in itself, given the infrastructural damage that was sustained.

We have also heard from local sources that airlines are preparing to operate domestic and international flights. But we have to keep in mind that we are dealing with a brittle situation, and we are watching closely to see whether more flights will follow.
