On the 18th local time, the secretary of the Association of Iranian Airlines stated that national ticket sales will be suspended until airlines obtain the necessary permits from the civil aviation organization. He also pointed out that in the current situation, ticket sales are not allowed, and airlines must apply for relevant permits for each domestic or international flight. Ticket issuance is contingent on obtaining approval from the civil aviation organization. In addition, he also mentioned that some websites currently showing available tickets are actually unable to complete purchases, and users are ultimately unable to successfully place orders. The Iranian Civil Aviation Organization had earlier announced on the 18th that some airspace and multiple airports in Iran have been reopened.
