The United States imposed a comprehensive package of sanctions on the Iranian aviation sector, aiming to choke Iran's economy and significantly reduce air traffic. The sanctions resulted in the suspension of most flights operated by "Iran Air" and "Mahan Air," with the daily number of flights dropping from approximately 80-90 to less than 60, as the majority of foreign airlines ceased providing fuel and services to Iranian planes. Nonetheless, some flights to China, Russia, and Pakistan continued, while "Mahan Air" canceled its flights to Turkey at the request of Turkish authorities. The ban also led to the suspension of flights to and from Gulf countries such as the UAE and Kuwait, although Iraq resumed its air connections with Iran after a temporary halt due to American sanctions. Iran remains determined to maintain flights to at least 30 international destinations, despite significant challenges from several countries to adhere to sanctions or seek humanitarian exceptions.
