Flights to Ahvaz
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ahvaz is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Qasem Soleimani International Airport (AWZ), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, whose 11,149-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Mahshahr Airport (MRX, 96 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qasem Soleimani International Airport | AWZ | 8 km (5 mi) | 11,149 ft | 66 ft |
| Mahshahr Airport (regional) | MRX | 96 km (60 mi) | 8,874 ft | 8 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,149 ft, AWZ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 66 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
