TEHRAN: International flights continued operating from Tehran to several destinations on Friday, although air connections with some Gulf countries remained suspended or sharply reduced, according to the supplied flight observations.
A significant number of flights were still operating between the Iranian capital and Türkiye, China, Pakistan, Thailand and Russia, indicating that Tehran maintained international air links despite continuing regional aviation disruptions.
However, the flight picture remained uneven, with services to some neighbouring countries either absent or significantly reduced.
No Tehran-UAE Flights Observed as Iraq Services Continue
According to the supplied observations, no flights were operating between Tehran and the United Arab Emirates during the period reviewed.
Meanwhile, only a limited number of flights continued between Tehran and Iraq, suggesting that services on the route remained considerably below normal levels.
The observations did not identify the individual airlines, flight numbers or airports involved. Therefore, they do not establish whether the reduced services resulted from government restrictions, airline decisions, airspace limitations or other operational considerations.
No Oman Flights Recorded During Past 24 Hours
Additionally, no flight from Tehran to Oman was observed during the previous 24 hours.
Nevertheless, Tehran continued to maintain air connectivity with destinations farther afield, including China, Thailand and Russia, alongside services to Türkiye and Pakistan.
The contrasting flight patterns show that international aviation from Tehran has not stopped entirely, even as particular regional routes face disruption.
However, the supplied information does not establish whether the absence of flights to the UAE and Oman represents a formal suspension or a temporary operational development.
Flight schedules can also change rapidly because of airspace restrictions, security considerations and airline operational decisions.
The latest observations therefore point to selective disruption rather than a complete halt to Tehran’s international passenger air traffic.
