Desert gateway serving the remote city of Tabas, Iran.

Location
Tabas, Iran
Tabas Airport (IATA: TCX, ICAO: OIMT) is a domestic airport serving Tabas, a city located in South Khorasan Province in the arid interior of Iran. The airport provides essential air connectivity for this remote desert region, which is otherwise difficult to access by land due to its isolated geography. Tabas is historically known for the devastating 1978 earthquake that nearly destroyed the city, and the airport plays a vital role in supporting the local population and occasional tourists visiting the Tabas oasis and the Dasht-e Kavir desert. Flights primarily connect Tabas to major Iranian cities such as Tehran. The airport operates on a modest scale consistent with the small population of Tabas and the limited demand for air travel in the region. It is managed under Iran's civil aviation infrastructure.

The airport has a single small terminal building serving domestic passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Tabas city center is primarily by taxi or private vehicle, given the limited public transit infrastructure in the area.
