Air travel between Pakistan and Iran has officially resumed, marking an important step in restoring regional aviation links. The development comes after a 60-day suspension caused by rising tensions in the region.
A commercial passenger flight from Tehran landed in Islamabad on Thursday. It was the first direct arrival since flight operations were halted in late February. The return of this service shows that flights resume between the two neighboring countries after weeks of disruption.
Officials confirmed that the Tehran-Islamabad route is now active in both directions. This means passengers can once again travel directly between the capitals without long delays or alternate routes. The decision to let flights resume is expected to help families, business travelers, and students who were affected by the suspension.
The air travel suspension began after military tensions increased in the region. Iran had closed its airspace following strikes linked to the United States and Israel. This led to a complete stop in civilian aviation across the country.
With the latest reopening, Iran is also restarting wider international operations. Imam Khomeini International Airport has resumed flights to 15 global destinations. This move is part of a larger effort to bring international air traffic back to normal.
According to Iranian media reports, flights have restarted to major cities including Istanbul, Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Moscow, and Doha.
Airport authorities said all passenger handling systems are operating smoothly. They added that both arrivals and departures are being managed under safety procedures.
The decision to let flights resume is seen as a positive sign for regional travel. It may also improve trade and tourism between Pakistan and Iran.
