## Description

Textiles, ceramics, hand-woven fabrics and tiles have shipped out of Yazd for centuries, and the city's airport (AZD) carries a share of that trade by air. Shahid Sadooghi Airport operates genuine cargo handling for regional distribution and recorded roughly 4,972 tonnes of freight in 2017, up about 15 percent year on year. International activity is limited but real: scheduled service to Najaf in Iraq, seasonal Hajj flights to Jeddah and Medina, and occasional cargo charters tied to the pilgrimage season. Customs clearance follows Iranian procedure, while large intercontinental consignments still route through Tehran's Imam Khomeini International (IKA). For freight forwarders, AZD is a workable regional cargo point backed by a real industrial hinterland, rather than a long-haul gateway.
