Scores

Getting there
On Pasdaran boulevard in the south-west of the city, a short taxi or Snapp ride from the centre. No airport bus was found.
Terminal and queues
Two small terminals: 8,000 square metres domestic and 6,500 square metres international. The airport reopened in spring 1405 after repairs following air strikes.
Connections and transit
Mainly Tehran and Mashhad plus Najaf and Kuwait when politics allow. Najaf flights were halted on 25 September 2026 and partly resumed in October under a 40-flights-a-day cap for pilgrims.
Food, rest, SIM, prayer room
Prayer room, a café and a small buffet. Air conditioning matters here; the terminal gets hot in summer.
Delays and cancellations
Follows the national pattern; summer dust storms and heat cause extra cancellations.

What is good

  • Close to the city centre

What is not

  • Dust-storm cancellations in summer
  • Najaf flights depend on week-to-week politics

Tips

  • For Arbaeen compare the flight with the Shalamcheh land route; buses are cheap and reliable
  • Check dust forecasts in summer before a tight connection

Plan the trip

How we score: Each criterion gets 1 to 5 from published figures, official pages and recent traveller reports; the note under each score says what it rests on. Nothing here is paid for and nothing comes from the airlines or airports themselves.
