Flights to Mashhad
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mashhad is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Mashhad International Airport (MHD), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, whose 12,877-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mashhad International Airport | MHD | 8 km (5 mi) | 12,877 ft | 3,263 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,877 ft, MHD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 3,263 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
