Flights between Tehran and Dubai are scheduled to resume on Monday, as reported by Iranian media. Ramin Kashefazar, head of Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport, confirmed that necessary arrangements have been made to reopen the route. Tickets for a Sepehran airline flight to Dubai on Monday morning were available on the company's website.
The resumption of this air travel route follows a period of significant disruption caused by regional conflict, including missile and drone attacks launched by Iran in response to US-Israeli actions. Iran stated its targets were US interests, not civilian infrastructure.
