Airport contact
Iran's second-busiest airport after Tehran Mehrabad, and the country's principal air gateway for pilgrims to the Imam Reza shrine, one of the largest Shia Muslim pilgrimage sites in the world; domestic traffic plus heavy seasonal Hajj/Arbaeen and religious-tourism charter volume dominate. Base/major station for Iran Air, Mahan Air, Iran Aseman Airlines, Caspian Airlines, Meraj Airlines, Kish Air and other Iranian carriers; roughly 8.42 million passengers reported for Iranian year 1403 (Mar 2024-Mar 2025) per Iran Airports Company reporting (figure not). Two parallel runway pairs: only Rwy 31R (part of 13L/31R) carries a published ILS CAT I approach; Rwy 13R/31L is VOR/DME and NDB only. Local procedures reportedly restrict overflight of Mashhad's Holy Shrine below roughly 6,000 ft, and stray dogs/birds on the movement area have been cited as airport hazards; neither detail was independently confirmed against a primary AIP source.
