The arrival of Flight FZ1930 at Iran’s biggest airport from the airline’s base in the United Arab Emirates marked the start of a gradual return to normal operations in Iranian airspace, IRNA said.

FlyDubai is a low-cost carrier and a sister airline to Emirates.

Local authorities described the landing as a sign of restored stability and effective crisis management in the country’s aviation sector. Passenger services were carried out under full safety and security protocols, IRNA reported.

International and domestic air traffic had been halted following Israeli airstrikes and heightened security concerns across Iranian skies.

Iran’s airports have reopened for domestic and international flights, except for those in the cities of Isfahan and Tabriz, and the country’s airspace is also open for international transit flights, state media reported.
