Bandar Abbas Airport Resumes Domestic Flights After War Disruptions
Iran’s southern port city restores key air routes following months of repeated closures amid conflict with the United States
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — Flights at Bandar Abbas International Airport in southern Iran resumed on Saturday after repeated disruptions during the country’s conflict with the United States, Iranian state media reported.
Kazem Tavassoli, director general of airports in Hormozgan province, said scheduled flights on high-traffic domestic routes had resumed, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
The reopening follows limited flight operations in recent days, Tavassoli said, adding that passengers can now purchase tickets for routes connecting Bandar Abbas with Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan in both directions.
Before the war, Bandar Abbas International Airport handled between 35 and 40 domestic and international flights per day, he said.
The airport, which serves the strategic southern port city near the Strait of Hormuz, has been repeatedly closed since the conflict with the United States began in February.
The resumption of regular domestic services marks a partial restoration of air connectivity in southern Iran as a broader lull in fighting has taken hold in recent weeks.
