## Description

LVP and OIBV identify Lavan Island Airport, a petroleum-support strip in Iran's Hormozgan Province rather than a public gateway. The National Iranian Oil Company uses it to fly staff to Lavan, a 78 km² island holding one of Iran's four main crude-export terminals alongside Kharg, with crude loading rates reaching 50,000 barrels per hour. No scheduled passenger service and no commercial air cargo operate here; the field exists for the oil industry. Importers and exporters serving the area route air freight through Bandar Abbas International Airport (IATA: BND) on the mainland, about 170 nautical miles west of the Strait of Hormuz. Cargo bound for the island itself typically moves by sea to Lavan's tanker and supply berths.
