- This precaution reflects its safety-first protocol, ensuring passenger security amid unrest and highlighting Türkiye’s commitment to responsible aviation management. What's the Reason Behind Flight CancellationsThe flight cancellations come amid ongoing nationwide protests in Iran that began on December 28, triggered by a sharp currency devaluation and worsening economic conditions.
- While Iranian authorities have not released official casualty figures, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported 42 deaths, including eight security personnel and more than 2,200 arrests by the twelfth day of demonstrations. Earlier in the day, Iran issued a new aviation warning, according to local media reports, suspending all flights at Tehran's Oiix Airport, as authorities widened airspace restrictions amid heightened military activity and growing nationwide protests. A series of active Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs) issued recently indicated increased defensive measures across multiple parts of the country as anti-government protests escalated, particularly in the capital. Among the active notices is NOTAM A0182/26 covering Hamedan's Nojeh Airbase, where strategic defensive systems have been activated around a site regarded as a key military installation.
- Over north-western Iran, air defences have also been activated above Tabriz, under NOTAM A0180/26, covering an area close to the Turkish and Azerbaijani borders. Further north, NOTAM A0201/26 applies to Rasht and Bandar Anzali, citing security measures intended to protect logistical routes across the Caspian Sea.
- Additional notices, A0200/26 and A0202/26, cover Babolsar and Gorgan, where long-range surveillance radar systems are reported to be operational.
