According to Wikipedia, more than 25 airlines operate here, including Iran Air, Qeshm Air, flydubai and Caspian Airlines, with destinations in Iran and in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

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.
