Flights to Yazd
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Yazd is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Shahid Sadooghi Airport (AZD), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 13,446-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shahid Sadooghi Airport (regional) | AZD | 9 km (6 mi) | 13,446 ft | 4,054 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,446 ft, AZD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 4,054 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.
