Kish Island, IR
Alternatives
Kish Island, Iran · Middle East
Kish is the free-zone island airport for a short domestic hop from Tehran and a handful of Gulf and Iraq flights. The November 2025 AIP still lands you on 09L/27R, and the only published protocol service is paid CIP rather than a walk-in lounge.
