Major Decline in Overflights

Iran Airports Company’s revenues from overflight charges have decreased by 55% since the outbreak of Covid-19 in early 2020, compared with the same period of the year before, according to Siavash Amirmokri, managing director of the company.
"Between 750 to 800 flights used to pass through Iran's airspace daily before the outbreak of the virus. The number has currently declined to 130," he was quoted as saying by News.mrud.ir. 
The official, however, expressed optimism over the gradual return of international flights to Iran’s airspace, saying: "We expect the number to reach 400 to 450 flights each day."
Iran's aviation industry, a sector harshly hit by the spread of the new coronavirus, needs at least three years to make a comeback, in many experts' viewpoint. 
Iran Airports Company’s revenues from overflight charges decreased by 46% or $69 million in the first half of 2020 compared with the same period of 2019, earlier reports said.
