Airlines are told to avoid Iranian airspace completely, at every altitude. Flights that used to cross Iran now go around it.

Iran was at the centre of an air war that ran from late February to early May 2026, with a further round of strikes in late June. European regulators now tell airlines not to fly over Iran at all — not at any height, not even briefly. Iran has reopened part of its own airspace, but very few international airlines are using it. Most flights between Europe and Asia now go around: south over Egypt and Saudi Arabia, or north through the Caucasus and Central Asia. A route that crosses Iran is not a minor detail — it is airspace the official advice says to stay out of.
