The Iran Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) announced today the suspension of all domestic and international flights at all Iranian airports, effective immediately and until further notice. The decision, citing "operational and safety concerns," has caused widespread disruptions to air cargo logistics, passenger travel, and supply chains across the Middle East and beyond.
