|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qasem Soleimani International Airport | AWZ | 84 km (52 mi) | 11,149 ft | 66 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.
