Advisory profile updated 24d ago
Iranian airspace (Tehran FIR) carries elevated advisory status. Most carriers continue overflights with enhanced monitoring, but some Western airlines now route around Iranian FIR entirely.
Iranian airspace has been used as a tool of regional pressure on multiple occasions, with short-notice NOTAM restrictions and military activity affecting flight planning. Several European carriers have voluntarily suspended Iranian FIR transits. Gulf carriers (operating under different regulatory frameworks) generally continue normal routing. Any traveler on a European-flagged airline transiting Iranian FIR should be aware of elevated disruption probability.
