Iran extends flight suspension in parts of country despite ceasefire

Iran’s Ministry of Roads and Urban Development announced on Saturday that the suspension of domestic and international flights in the northern, southern, and western regions of the country has been extended until 2 p.m. Sunday, despite the ceasefire in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel.

In addition to the eastern half of the country’s airspace, which remains open for domestic, international, and overflight routes, Iran has now reopened its central and western airspace to international overflights, a spokesperson for the ministry said.
