Electronics, fashion and other high-value consumer goods set the cargo profile of Kish International Airport (KIH), the air access point for Iran's first free trade zone on Kish Island in the Persian Gulf. Alongside heavy passenger traffic from Tehran and the Gulf states, the airport handles both domestic and international freight, with dedicated handlers transferring shipments to onward flights. The island's duty-free status, established in 1993, drives demand for imported goods cleared through the zone's own customs procedures. For bulkier flows, the seaport at Asaluyeh, about 170 km away, provides the maritime leg. The mix of tourism and free-zone commerce adds belly capacity on passenger services. For forwarders, KIH is a reference point for high-value consumer cargo in southern Iran, while mass freight continues to route via Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA).
