Introduction

The airport initially started its operations in 1983, although much of its destinations were national. After the Gulf War, it became an international airport with its first international flight to Dubai, UAE.

Facilities

The airport has three terminals which are capable of displacing over three million people annually. There is a complex web of conveyor belts and luggage transport facilities put into place by IBM. Larestan International Airport has one of the most efficient systems in displacing passengers and luggage having ranked the best airport in lost or delayed luggage.
