## Description

Iran Air, Iran Aseman, Zagros Airlines, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, flydubai, Air Arabia, SalamAir, Jazeera Airways and Pegasus all serve Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib (SYZ/OISS), the largest airport in southern Iran and fourth busiest in the country, which last publicly reported around 33,000 tonnes of cargo (2017). That carrier mix explains the freight profile: volumes move mainly as belly cargo on passenger aircraft, and no scheduled dedicated freighter operation is confirmed. Serving Fars province, the airport opened in 1961, gained international status in 1966 and links over 20 domestic and around 15 international destinations. Ground handling, including cargo security and aircraft loading and unloading, is run by the Saman Air Services station. Customs clearance is administered by the Iranian Customs Administration (IRICA), with bonded storage available for imports. By road, Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf lies roughly 600 km south, making combined air-sea moves via that seaport workable. A replacement international terminal has been under construction for years, with completion repeatedly rescheduled. For larger or intercontinental consignments, Tehran Imam Khomeini (IKA) and Bandar Abbas (BND) are the practical alternatives. Before capacity is even a question, shippers from the EU, UK or US must resolve the applicable Iran sanctions and export-control position.
