TEHRAN, June 28: The aviation authorities of Iran and the United Arab Emirates have issued permits to resume flights on the Tehran-Dubai route on July 1, Majid Akhavan, a spokesman for the Iranian Civil Aviation Organisation, said.
"The Iranian Civil Aviation Organisation and the UAE Civil Aviation Organisation have issued the relevant permits to resume flights from Tehran to Dubai on July 1," ISNA quoted Akhavan as saying.
In early June, Iranian aviation authorities closed airspace in western Iran due to escalating tensions with Israel. Iran decided to restore air travel in the western part of the country on Tuesday.
On the night of June 18, Iran and the United States signed a memorandum remotely, which seeks to end the military conflict that began on February 28. The memorandum also sets a timeline for when the United States will lift the naval blockade and Iran will restore shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Furthermore, Iran commits not to acquire nuclear weapons, and the issue of Iran's nuclear programme is to be resolved by a separate agreement. The parties will hold talks on this matter within 60 days. For Tehran, the outcome is expected to be the lifting of sanctions against Iran.
