WANA (Oct 04) – The CEO of Imam Khomeini International Airport has dismissed rumors that foreign airlines have suspended flights to Iran following the activation of the UN snapback sanctions mechanism.

 

Recent reports had suggested that Iran’s aviation sector was facing disruptions due to renewed financial and banking restrictions, with some foreign carriers allegedly canceling or preparing to cancel their services. However, airport data shows that flights at Imam Khomeini International Airport are operating normally, with no changes to schedules.

 

Flights Operating as Scheduled

Saeed Chalandari, CEO of Imam Khomeini Airport City, confirmed in an interview that no official notifications of cancellations have been received. “All flights are operating according to schedule, with no cancellations,” he said, emphasizing that services remain unaffected.

 

Lufthansa Issues Linked to Internal Problems

Referring to Lufthansa’s flight operations after the 12-day war, Chalandari, who also serves as Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development, said: “Lufthansa is facing its own problems in its home country. In fact, even minor issues cause its pilots to cancel flights out of caution. These matters are internal to the airline and have nothing to do with Iran, nor have they had any impact on our flight operations.”

 

No Restrictions on Flights In or Out of Tehran

The airport chief stressed that all inbound and outbound flights at Imam Khomeini International Airport continue without disruption or restrictions.
