Persian Gulf International Airport (PGU) serves the Asaluyeh region and Khiyaroo in Bushehr Province, southern Iran, acting as a vital access point for the South Pars Special Economic Energy Zone — one of the world's largest natural gas fields. The airport was developed to support the significant influx of energy industry workers, engineers, and contractors operating in the region. Its strategic importance makes it one of Iran's busiest airports by industrial traffic despite its relatively modest passenger terminal infrastructure.
- Main Passenger Terminal — A single-terminal facility handling domestic flights primarily to Tehran, Shiraz, and other major Iranian cities, catering largely to energy sector personnel and regional travellers.
- Taxi services available outside the terminal for hire to Asaluyeh and nearby areas
- Private company shuttles arranged by energy sector employers for staff transfers
- Ride-hailing apps with limited availability depending on network coverage
- Car rental services with limited local operators near the terminal
- Asaluyeh Grand Hotel
- South Pars Hotel
- Parsian Hotel Asaluyeh
- Kish International Hotel (regional reference)
Dining options inside the airport are limited to a small cafeteria and snack counters offering traditional Iranian food, tea, and light refreshments. Outside the terminal in Asaluyeh, local restaurants serve Persian staples such as kebab, rice dishes, and fresh Gulf seafood. Travellers with specific dietary needs are advised to carry supplementary food, as choices remain modest.
- Carry Iranian rials in cash as card payment infrastructure is very limited in this region.
- Pre-arrange ground transport with your employer or hotel, as taxis can be scarce outside peak arrival times.
- The area is primarily industrial; plan accommodation in advance as hotel availability is limited and fills quickly.
- Domestic flights can experience schedule changes — confirm your flight status directly with the airline before arriving at the airport.
