Scheduled air travel at Bandar Abbas International Airport has officially resumed, marking a return to normal operations on several high-traffic domestic routes. The airport, located in Iran’s Hormozgan province, had faced multiple service interruptions since the onset of hostilities with the United States in February.
Kazem Tavassoli, the director general of airports for Hormozgan province, confirmed the resumption of service to the IRNA state news agency. He noted that the airport had been operating under limited flight capacity in recent days prior to this full restoration of scheduled services.
Travelers are now able to purchase tickets for flights connecting Bandar Abbas with Tehran, Mashhad, and Isfahan in both directions. These routes represent some of the most critical domestic links for the region, which had been significantly impacted by the recent security situation.
Before the conflict began, the facility typically managed between 35 and 40 domestic and international flights on a daily basis. While the restoration of these routes is a significant step toward normalcy, the airport had been subjected to repeated closures throughout the duration of the conflict.
The airport “handled 35 to 40 domestic and international flights per day” before the war, Tavassoli said.
