Tehran: Iran reopened its main Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad airports in capital Tehran on Monday, April 20, 2026, the country's aviation authority said, after closures caused by the weeks-long war with the United States and Israel.

"Authorization for passenger flights at Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad Airport has been issued" from Monday, the Civil Aviation Organisation said in a statement, according to ISNA news agency.

It added that passenger flights from 10 airports across Iran "will also be possible from Saturday."
