Flights to Shiraz
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Shiraz is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport (SYZ), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 14,345-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport | SYZ | 10 km (6 mi) | 14,345 ft | 4,927 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,345 ft, SYZ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 4,927 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.
