Ali Kashani Heydari, the Public Relations Manager of Imam Khomeini Airport City, reacted yesterday to the news about the resumption of Iran's flights to Najaf, stating that no official correspondence has been received in this regard. These remarks come amid speculation about the possibility of the first flights from Tehran to Najaf Ashraf starting this Wednesday.
Background of Flight Ban
Flights from Iran to Najaf and vice versa have been suspended since last week following the imposition of unjust U.S. sanctions against 27 Iranian airlines. These decisions have raised concerns for travelers and pilgrims intending to travel to Iraq. However, no official announcement has yet been made by the relevant authorities regarding the resumption of these flights.

Current Status of Flights
The Public Relations Manager of Imam Khomeini Airport further added: "Currently, there has been no official communication regarding the time for resuming these flights, and no specific time can be announced for the re-establishment of flights from Tehran to Najaf and vice versa." These statements clearly indicate uncertainty regarding the status of flights and dissatisfaction among travelers.
Additionally, inquiries from the representative of Iraqi Airways indicate that this company has also not received any information about the resumption of flights between Iran and Najaf. This uncertainty and lack of clarity regarding the status of flights have heightened concerns among pilgrims and travelers.
Waiting for Official Announcement
Currently, despite the publication of some news and speculation about the resumption of Iran's flights to Najaf, no specific and official time for the establishment of these flights has been announced. This situation remains in anticipation of an official announcement from the relevant authorities. Pilgrims and travelers must patiently wait for new information in this regard.
Flights from Iran to Najaf are of special importance not only for pilgrims but also for individuals traveling to this city for business and family reasons. Therefore, it is expected that the relevant authorities will clarify this matter as soon as possible and provide the necessary information to travelers.
