23% Growth in Overflights

Latest statistics released by Iran Airport Company indicate a 23% growth in the total number of foreign flights using Iranian airspace during the month to Sept. 22. 
A total of 10,376 foreign flights passed through Iran's airspace during the month, which figure stood at 8,431 in the previous month. 
However, a year-on-year comparison reveals a 56% drop in the number of overflights, mostly due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and the subsequent suspension of airlines' operations.
