Iraq reopened its airspace on Sunday hours after suspending all air traffic coinciding with the Iranian strike against Israel, the Iraqi aviation authority announced.

Jordan and Lebanon similarly reopened their respective airspace on Sunday.


The Iraqi civil aviation authority announced in a statement "the reopening of the airspace" and resumption of flights to and from airports across the country, saying there were no longer any "security risks to civilian aircraft".


In Jordan, Civil Aviation Commission chief Haitham Misto told the official Al Mamlaka channel: "The Jordanian airspace has been reopened, and the situation has returned to normal."

Samer Majali, CEO of flag carrier Royal Jordanian, said on Sunday that the airline's flights "have resumed," though some delays can be expected.


Lebanon's Transport Minister Ali Hamie told AFP that "we have resumed flights since 7 am (0400 GMT), and we're monitoring the situation."

The international airport in Beirut "has resumed its work," he added.
