International flights will finally leave Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport this Saturday. The ISNA news agency reported this highly anticipated travel update today. This major move comes days after Iran completely reopened its national airspace.

First Destinations and Ceasefire Impact

Aviation officials announced the very first scheduled flight destinations today. Planes will initially fly directly to Istanbul and Muscat.

The recent US-Israeli war forced Iran to shut its airspace completely on February 28. Aviation authorities are slowly reopening the skies during the current ceasefire agreement.

Mashhad Airport Operations Return

Officials successfully reopened Mashhad airport earlier this week on Monday. This vital transport hub serves Iran's second-largest city in the far northeast.

Flight tracking data confirmed successful international departures this past Friday. At least two flights departed the northeast airport without any issues. These specific passenger planes traveled safely directly to Turkey and Oman.
