Iran: Officials cancel flights nationwide overnight Oct. 6/7
Officials cancel flights in Iran from 21:00 Oct. 6 through 06:00 Oct. 7. Reconfirm flights.
Aviation officials in Iran have indicated that all flights will be canceled from 21:00 Oct. 6 through 06:00 Oct. 7 due to operational restrictions. Further information is unavailable. Officials have requested that passengers contact airports or airlines for further information.
Disruptions to flight operations are likely even after the end of the restrictions as carriers reposition aircraft and deal with a likely backlog of flights.
Liaise with airlines for updates. Do not depart for the airport until onward travel or flights are confirmed.
The announcement coincides with and is likely connected to ongoing tensions in the region and the threat of an Israeli strike against Iran in retaliation for a missile barrage fired by Iran against Israel on Oct. 1. The strike killed one person in the West Bank.
