Bishe Kola (IATA BSM, ICAO OINJ) is an Iranian Air Force base near Amol in Mazandaran province, on the coastal plain south of the Caspian Sea and therefore just below sea level. Despite carrying an IATA code, it has no scheduled service, no civil freight terminal and no customs clearance for commercial goods, so its relevance to shippers is nil. Air cargo for northern Iran runs through Tehran Imam Khomeini (IKA) for international traffic and Mehrabad (THR) for domestic freight, with Sari Dasht-e Naz (SRY) the nearest civil airport regionally. Shipments to or from Iran also require a check against applicable sanctions and export-control rules.
