Iraq: Officials announce flight resumption nationwide the morning of Oct. 26 following earlier airspace closure /update 1
Officials confirm resumption of flights across Iraq the morning of Oct. 26. Residual delays likely. Reconfirm flights.
Iraqi officials have announced the resumption of all flights nationwide the morning of Oct. 26. Authorities closed the nation's airspace earlier the same day as a precaution following Israeli airstrikes against military targets in Iran.
Residual flight delays and cancellations are likely through at least Oct. 26 as airlines work to clear passenger backlogs. Further intermittent closures are possible in the coming days amid regional tensions and the potential for additional retaliatory actions between Israel and Iran.
Reconfirm flight schedules. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed.
