Iran says all flights canceled overnight
Flights from all Iran’s airports have been canceled from 9 p.m. today until 6 a.m. tomorrow local time, Iran’s Mehr news agency says, citing a spokesperson for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization.
A notice to pilots, or NOTAM, sent out by Iranian authorities confirms the closure, while carving out exceptions for “emergency flight, ferry flights and state aircraft.”
Another state-run outlet, IRNA, cites “operational restrictions” for the closure, which may relate to an expected Israeli counterattack following an Iranian missile assault last week.
