Iran’s civil aviation authority held a meeting in Tehran with senior representatives of Lufthansa to discuss the possible resumption of the airline’s flights to Iranian airports after a temporary suspension linked to recent regional tensions, IRNA reported.The session brought together the deputy head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) and senior officials with Lufthansa’s evaluation team, including the airline’s regional manager in Iran, its senior aviation security and risk management officer, and the head of Austrian Airlines’ representation in the country, IRNA reported.According to officials, the Lufthansa team reviewed operational and security conditions in Iranian airspace as part of its assessment to restart Frankfurt-Tehran flights. The German carrier has suspended and resumed the route several times over the past two years in response to regional security developments, and is conducting a fresh on-site review following the latest suspension.CAO officials outlined air traffic coordination procedures between military and civilian sectors, as well as contingency plans to ensure the safety of international flights and the withdrawal of foreign airline crews if necessary.Initial feedback from the Lufthansa delegation indicated confidence in the safety and security of Iranian airspace, the officials said. Pending final approval of the assessment report, flights are expected to resume in early 2026. (ICE TEHERAN)
