TEHRAN, Iran — Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA), Iran's primary gateway for international flights, remains fully closed with no commercial arrivals or departures as of Monday, March 2, 2026, due to the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran and Tehran's retaliatory strikes across the region.
Iranian airspace (Tehran FIR, OIIX) stays under total closure for civilian aviation, with the latest NOTAM extending the shutdown until at least 0830 GMT on March 3, according to flight-tracking authorities and pilot bulletins. Extensions appear likely given continued combat operations, explosions in Tehran and active air defenses. Flightradar24 maps show Iranian skies virtually empty, with no scheduled traffic at IKA and minimal overflights rerouted far south or north to avoid the conflict zone.
