Bushehr Airport BUZ

Bushehr Airport (BUZ) serves Bushehr, a port city on the Persian Gulf coast. It is a civil and military airport with two parallel runways of about 4,470 metres, and handled around 324,000 passengers in 2015. It is the city’s air link with Tehran and Dubai, and receives pilgrimage flights in season. Given the regional situation, check that the airport is operating before planning your trip.

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.

According to Wikipedia, Iran Air, ATA Airlines, Iran Aseman Airlines and flydubai operate here. The main destinations are Tehran-Mehrabad and Dubai, plus seasonal Hajj flights to Jeddah and Medina.

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 and routes can change often, so confirm your flight directly with the airline shortly before leaving. Arrive with enough time to check in and clear security, especially on an international flight. The airport shares its facilities with military aviation, so follow staff instructions and avoid photographing the premises.
