Overview
- State media and local airport officials report that scheduled domestic services between Bandar Abbas and Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan have restarted and tickets are being sold.
- Local airports director Kazem Tavassoli said the airport had run limited flights in the days before the broader resumption, according to Iranian state news agency IRNA.
- Bandar Abbas airport saw repeated closures and heavy disruption after the US–Iran hostilities began, cutting flight volumes well below its pre-conflict level of about 35 to 40 daily flights.
- Authorities say the reopening is gradual and that flight timetables and wider aviation operations in Iran remain subject to change if security conditions shift.
- Restoring these routes reconnects Hormozgan province to major cities and should ease travel and shipping links for residents and businesses, but observers should watch statements from Iran’s aviation authorities and security developments for signs of wider recovery or further disruption.
