Iraq on Friday extended the closure of its airspace to all flights for one week, citing ongoing regional security concerns.

The Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority said the measure runs from 12:00 p.m. local time on April 3 (09:00 UTC) until 12:00 p.m. on April 10 and will be reviewed based on developments, with airlines to be notified of any updates.

Iraq has kept its airspace closed in recent weeks, repeatedly extending the suspension amid continued regional tensions.
