Following infrastructure damage caused by military conflicts involving the United States and Israel, Iran has begun restoring its aviation capabilities. Bandar Abbas International Airport resumed operations connecting the city to Tehran, Mashhad, and Isfahan, with several airlines scheduled to operate. Officials also indicated that Qeshm International Airport is prepared to reopen once regional security stabilizes.

Building on this recovery, Iran is expanding its flight networks. New routes include weekly service between Bushehr and Dubai, as well as increased domestic capacity for the Bushehr-Tehran-Mashhad route. Additionally, weekly flights from Tehran to Tunis have resumed at Imam Khomeini International Airport to facilitate tourism and economic interaction.
