Iranian state media says flights resumed after brief suspension following missile attack on Israel

Iranian state media says flights have resumed at its airports, after a brief suspension following its massive missile attack on Israel on Tuesday evening.

Both domestic and international flights were grounded for security reasons until 05:00 a.m. (0130 GMT) this morning.

Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation spokesman, Jafar Yazarloo, confirms the resumption, citing the lifting of restrictions.

“After ensuring favorable and safe flight conditions and ending of the restrictions, airlines are allowed to carry out flight operations,” he says, according to the official IRNA news agency.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has advised European airlines to avoid Iranian airspace until October 31, with the situation under ongoing review.

Similar warnings were issued for Israel and Lebanon over the weekend.
