Iraq reopened its airspace on Monday after Iran announced the suspension of its military operations against Israel, according to the country’s Civil Aviation Authority. The authority stated that all Iraqi airports are now open for passenger and commercial flights, while officials will continue to monitor and assess the regional situation closely.
The decision follows Iraq’s earlier move to close its airspace for 72 hours after Iran launched missile attacks on Israel on Sunday evening. That attack marked the first breach of the Middle East ceasefire that had been in effect since April 8. The reopening signals a cautious return to normal air operations as regional tensions remain high.
Authorities emphasized that surveillance of the situation will continue, suggesting that future airspace decisions will depend on developments in the Iran-Israel conflict.
