Bandar Lengeh International Airport BDH

Bandar Lengeh International Airport (BDH) serves Bandar Lengeh, on the Persian Gulf coast of Hormozgan province. It is a small regional airport, used by both civilians and the military, with a 2,500-metre runway. Despite “International” in its name, it now handles domestic flights only: scheduled international services (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat with Iran Air) ended in the early 1980s. It is useful if you want to reach this stretch of coast by air rather than make the long journey by road.

Terminals

There is a single terminal, with arrivals and departures in the same building. There are no transfers between terminals: you arrive, check in and board in the same place.

Airlines and destinations

According to Wikipedia, Iran Air links Bandar Lengeh with Shiraz and Tehran-Mehrabad, and Yazd Airways flies to Tehran-Mehrabad. That is the whole offering: domestic routes at low frequency.

Services

We found no detailed official information about the airport’s services, so don’t count on a wide choice of shops, restaurants or lounges. The sensible approach is to eat and sort out accommodation in town before or after your flight, and to bring with you whatever you may need while you wait.

Tips

Flights are few, so a schedule change or a cancellation weighs heavily on your plans. Confirm your flight directly with the airline shortly before leaving and arrive with enough time to check in and clear security. The airport shares its facilities with military aviation, so follow staff instructions and avoid photographing the premises.
