Zahedan, Iran
Zahedan International Airport (IATA: ZAH, ICAO: OIZH) serves Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan Province in southeastern Iran. It is the primary air hub for this vast, sparsely populated border region, handling domestic routes as well as some international connections to neighboring countries.
The airport plays a strategic role given Zahedan's position near the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, making it important for regional connectivity and occasionally for humanitarian and governmental operations. Passenger volumes are relatively modest compared to major Iranian airports.
Iran Air and other domestic Iranian carriers operate scheduled services linking Zahedan to Tehran and other Iranian cities. The airport's international routes have historically included connections to destinations in Pakistan and the broader region.
