Iran and Israel extend airspace closures amid continued strikes
2025-06-19T14:21:36+00:00 Shafaq News/ Iran's Civil Aviation Organization announced on Thursday the extension of its airspace closure until early Friday, as the exchange of strikes with Israel enters its seventh consecutive day. According to a statement carried by IRNA, the organization said it had decided to extend the suspension of air traffic over Iranian airspace until 02:00 AM local time on Friday. Israel also shut down its airspace following extensive Iranian air raids. The Israeli Ministry of Transportation said in a statement that the airspace would remain closed to both departures and arrivals until further notice. The Civil Aviation Authority advised travelers not to head to Ben Gurion Airport, the country's main international hub. Air travel across the Middle East has faced significant disruptions since the onset of the Israeli-Iranian conflict on June 13th, with multiple regional and international carriers suspending or rerouting flights due to heightened security risks. Major airports in countries such as Jordan, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, and Lebanon have reported delays and cancellations, particularly for routes passing through or near Iranian and Israeli airspace. Aviation authorities have issued warnings urging caution, while several airlines have opted to avoid the entire region, citing concerns over missile strikes and escalating military activity.

Iran extends flight suspension amid escalating tensions with ‘Israel'
Iran's Civil Aviation Organization announced on Wednesday the extension of its nationwide flight suspension until 2 AM Thursday, citing ongoing military escalation with the Israeli Occupation and fears of renewed airstrikes. The decision comes as the region witnesses unprecedented tensions following a series of cross-border attacks between Tehran and 'Israel'. In recent days, 'Israeli' forces have carried out strikes on military and industrial sites inside Iran, including a facility near Tehran used for producing centrifuges. Several Iranian cities, including the capital, remain on high alert, with frequent air raid sirens and the presence of defensive aircraft reported. Authorities have also imposed internet restrictions and intensified security measures across the country. Observers say the continued suspension of flights reflects serious concerns that airports or civilian aircraft could become targets amid the ongoing conflict.
