Iran reopened its airspace after nearly five hours of closure, according to FlightRadar24, which reported the notice was lifted shortly before 10 p.m. ET Wednesday, or 6:30 a.m. local time Thursday.
The airspace closure—prompted by concerns over possible military action between the United States and Iran—forced airlines cancel, reroute, or delay flights.
