Mehrabad Airport

Mehrabad Airport

Undoubtedly, Mehrabad Airport is the most famous Iranian airport, which was built in 1938 in the west of Tehran, and is one of the most active airports in the country. This airport was the first airport in Tehran to handle 13 million passengers in the year. This large number is a good indication of the importance of this airport in Iran's aviation industry. All international flights transferred from Mehrabad Airport to Imam Khomeini Airport in 2007 and no international flights (except Hajj flights) have been made from this airport since then.
