Iraq and Syria have reopened their airspace for domestic and international flights following a two-week US-Iranian ceasefire mediated by Pakistan
Anadolu reported that the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority announced the reopening of its airspace starting today Wednesday, April 8, after the announcement of a ceasefire between the US and Iran.
The reopening of Iraq's airspace to airlines comes after it was closed for several weeks as a precautionary measure amid the escalating regional conflict and officials warned of the risks to civil aviation security.
According to Al Jazeera, the reopening of all Syrian airspace, which had previously been closed due to the US-Israeli war against Iran, was announced by the Syrian Civil Aviation and Air Transport General Authority.
As the opening of the Syrian airspace began on Wednesday, April 8, the operations of Damascus International Airport also returned to normal.
The Middle East has been heating up since the US-Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on February 28, which has killed more than 1,400 people to date, including the then Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel as well as Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf states hosting US military assets. Iran has also restricted the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
