Najaf Airport resumes flights to Iran after temporary suspension

NAJAF, Iraq — Najaf International Airport has resumed flights to Iranian airports after a temporary suspension linked to military tensions between the United States and Iran, the airport administration said in a statement to passengers. The announcement said two aircraft had landed at Najaf Airport in recent hours and that services between the two countries were back in operation. Flights from Najaf to Iran had been suspended overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday amid concerns over possible disruptions to regional air traffic caused by the US-Iran tensions. The airport had earlier issued warnings to travelers about potential delays in the area. Officials said the necessary measures had been taken to prevent disruptions to services, without providing further details. The resumption of flights is expected to allow passengers who had been waiting to continue their travel between Iraq and Iran.
