## Description

What air freight does quickly at Bandar Abbas, the sea does in bulk barely 34 kilometres away. The airport (IATA: BND) is Iran's principal southern gateway on the Strait of Hormuz, handling more than a million passengers and around 10,800 tonnes of cargo in 2016 across roughly 250 weekly flights. Its real weight comes from pairing with Shahid Rajaee Port, Iran's largest container terminal, which moves over 85 percent of the country's container traffic and 75–83 million tonnes of freight a year. BND's cargo terminal clears international consignments under Iranian customs, with local ground handlers managing documentation and inspections. For forwarders the draw is multimodal: time-critical shipments fly, the bulk goes by sea, and road links carry both inland. As the capital of Hormozgan province, the city also concentrates the Gulf region's energy exports and raw-material imports. Cargo volumes track seasonal demand and the rhythm of the port closely.
