US sanctions impact Iran's airline sector
The United States has imposed a new package of sanctions on Iran's aviation sector, including a ban on Iranian airlines operating and the cessation of all international flights, especially to Iraq and Oman. Since midnight on Wednesday, Iranian Airlines and other carriers have not been allowed to land or refuel, in an effort to increase economic pressure on Iran. Negotiations are also underway to redirect flights heading to Baghdad to Najaf Airport, amid the Iraqi government’s commitment to the sanctions, which further restrict travel between Iran and Iraq. The sanctions also include a ban on Iran’s flights to Turkey and Azerbaijan, which is expected to reduce the opportunities for Iranian citizens to travel. Iranian airlines, which heavily rely on international flights, will face significant disruptions as a result of these measures.
