## Description

An unusual runway that climbs over its first half and descends over the second, combined with an elevation of roughly 1,750 m, noticeably limits payload at Hamadan International Airport (IATA: HDM, ICAO: OIHH) in western Iran — an airport with no commercial cargo terminal. The field is jointly operated by the state-owned Iran Airports Company and the Iranian Air Force, serving the highland city once known as Ecbatana. Iran Air accounts for about two thirds of departures with services to Tehran-Mehrabad, Caspian Airlines flies to Mashhad, and seasonal pilgrimage routes serve Jeddah and Medina. Intercontinental air freight from the province therefore clears at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA), about 330 road kilometres east, while domestic consignments travel as belly cargo via Tehran-Mehrabad (THR). Shippers should note that international sanctions on Iran materially restrict capacity, payment processing and insurance cover for air freight; feasibility and compliance need clarification with bank, insurer and customs advisor before booking. The province's agricultural and handicraft exports — raisins, walnuts, leather and Lalejin pottery — reach central Iranian hubs and the Persian Gulf ports almost entirely by road.
