Iran reopened this Saturday, June 28, its airspace in the central and western areas to international transit flights, announced the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.

The decision came after approval by Iran's Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) and the completion of safety and security assessments by relevant authorities, the ministry's spokesman, Majid Akhavan, said in a statement.

He added that the country earlier reopened its eastern airspace to domestic, international and transit flights, and stressed that no flights will land or take off from Iran's airports in the north, south and west.

In another statement, the OAC indicated that the country's airspace in the north, south and west areas will remain closed until 2:00 PM on Sunday. Iran closed its airspace on June 13 after Israeli air strikes on Tehran and other areas. After 12 days of air conflict, a ceasefire was reached between the two sides on Tuesday.
