Moscow: Russia has lifted restrictions on flights over Iranian airspace and resumed overflights, Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) announced on Monday. This decision reverses measures that had been in place since late February amid heightened regional tensions.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the agency also withdrew its recommendation for Russian airlines to suspend ticket sales for flights to and from the United Arab Emirates. This move marks a significant step in restoring air travel routes impacted by regional conflicts.

Rosaviatsiya further stated that it has lifted restrictions on Russian airlines' flights through Iranian airspace. The statement emphasized that transit flights and flights to Iranian airports may proceed, provided they strictly adhere to all recommendations from Iranian aviation authorities.

The airspace of several Western Asian countries had been closed in late February due to an escalation of conflicts in the region, including a US-Israeli aggression against Iranian territory.
