Remote gateway serving Iran's southeastern Sistan region.

Location
Zabol, Iran
Zabol Airport (IATA: ACZ, ICAO: OIZB) is a domestic airport serving the city of Zabol in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, southeastern Iran. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is geographically isolated and poorly served by road and rail infrastructure. The airport handles limited scheduled domestic traffic, primarily connecting Zabol to Tehran and other Iranian cities. Given the region's harsh desert climate and periodic dust storms, operations can be affected by environmental conditions.
Terminals
The airport has a small, single terminal facility suited to its low passenger volumes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Zabol city center is primarily by taxi or private vehicle, with no formal public transit service.
Airlines here
Iranian domestic carriers, including Mahan Air and Iran Aseman Airlines, have operated routes through Zabol Airport.

Gateway to Sistan's ancient plains at the edge of Iran

Zabol Airport serves the remote city of Zabol in Sistan-Baluchestan Province, southeastern Iran, close to the Afghan border. It functions as a vital domestic lifeline for a region otherwise isolated by vast desert terrain and the seasonal Hamoun wetlands. The airport plays a strategic role in connecting this historically significant area — home to the ancient city of Shahr-e Sukhteh — to the rest of Iran.

Traveller Tips
  • Book domestic flights well in advance as seat availability on routes to/from Zabol is limited.
