KER Airport (Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

Kerman's airport looks larger than its freight numbers suggest: Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport (KER/OIKK), ten kilometres west of the city, handles roughly 730,000 passengers and more than 116 weekly flights, while the last publicly reported cargo figure was 6,569 tonnes in 2017. Two terminals, one domestic and one international, serve carriers including Iran Air, Mahan Air and Zagros Airlines, with flydubai also listed among scheduled operators. Mahan Air is headquartered in Kerman, but the airline's US sanctions designation makes that proximity a complication rather than an advantage for international freight. Cargo demand comes mainly from the provincial economy — copper from the Sarcheshmeh mining complex and pistachios from the Rafsanjan area, the latter a classic perishables and food-export flow. A dedicated cargo terminal with regular freighter operations is not confirmed, so most shipments travel as belly cargo. International air freight normally routes via Tehran Imam Khomeini (IKA) about 1,000 km to the north-west, while sea-air combinations use Bandar Abbas (BND) some 500 km south, next to the Shahid Rajaee container port. Sanctions screening and customs preparation are unavoidable steps on any Iran lane, since many global forwarders and integrators offer only restricted service.
