Flights to Isfahan
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Isfahan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Isfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport (IFN), 23 km (14 mi) from the centre, whose 14,425-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport | IFN | 23 km (14 mi) | 14,425 ft | 5,059 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,425 ft, IFN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,059 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
