## Description

More than 86,000 tonnes of cargo passed through Mashhad International Airport (MHD, officially Shahid Hasheminejad) in 2016, underlining its role as Iran's second-busiest airport after Tehran. Serving Razavi Khorasan province and the millions of pilgrims visiting the Imam Reza shrine, it combines heavy passenger traffic with a dedicated cargo terminal offering warehousing, customs and forwarding services. Iran Air and other domestic carriers provide belly and freighter capacity toward the Middle East, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Customs clearance is handled by the Iranian Customs Administration (IRICA), with bonded warehouses available for imported goods. Its position in north-eastern Iran makes MHD a practical transhipment point for trade with Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and the CIS. Road links connect the airport to Mashhad and the highways running toward the border crossings. Ongoing terminal and apron expansions are raising both cargo and passenger capacity. For forwarders, MHD is the natural air-freight node for the north-east, while the heaviest international volumes still route via Tehran's IKA.
