Middle East airspace reopens after Iran ceasefire; routes resume but remain longer and safety‑constrained
Iraq, Syria and Bahrain have reopened airspace to commercial flights after a US–Iran ceasefire, with Bahrain’s Manama International restarting operations following a 39‑day closure. Airlines have resumed services — including a passenger flight into Iraq after ~40 days — but continue longer, safety‑driven routings that avoid still‑closed Kuwaiti airspace.
