## Description

One airline, one route, one season: as of 2026 Mahan Air is the sole carrier serving Gachsaran (GCH/OIAH), on the roughly 595 km run to Tehran. The airport in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province exists for the oil economy around the Gachsaran field, moving crews and company traffic rather than general passengers. There is no cargo terminal, no scheduled freighter service and no permanent air-freight customs post; heavy and oversized oilfield equipment reaches the area by truck across the Zagros roads in any case. Forwarders consolidate air cargo at Shiraz (SYZ) or Ahvaz (AWZ), while Tehran-Imam Khomeini (IKA) handles intercontinental shipments. Worth factoring into planning: Mahan Air has been under US sanctions since 2011, which constrains payments, insurance cover and carrier choice on Iranian traffic.
