๐ฎ๐ท Bandar Lengeh, Iran
Bandar Lengeh International Airport (BDH) serves the historic Persian Gulf port city of Bandar Lengeh in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Once a significant trading hub known as the 'Pearl Port,' the airport now primarily handles domestic flights, particularly a seasonal service to Shiraz operated by Iran Air. It operates from a single terminal building with basic amenities, including check-in counters and baggage claim, reflecting its role as a regional and historically important, but currently low-volume, air facility. The airport is located approximately 7 kilometers southwest of downtown Bandar Lengeh, off Main Road 96.
Security procedures at BDH are in line with Iranian national aviation regulations. Passengers can expect standard screening of both carry-on and checked luggage, along with personal security checks. Due to the limited and seasonal nature of commercial flights, processing times are generally efficient. While the airport has international capabilities, scheduled international services are not currently a primary feature; international connections typically require transfers via larger Iranian airports in Tehran, Isfahan, or Shiraz. Travelers should be aware of the hot and humid coastal climate of the Persian Gulf region.
Amenities within the terminal are basic but functional. There is usually a small waiting area with seating and restrooms. Travelers might find a small kiosk offering beverages and light snacks. For ground transportation, taxis are typically available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Bandar Lengeh city center and its historic attractions, such as Sheikh Sultan Castle and traditional wind-catcher architecture. The airport serves as an efficient gateway for local residents and a point of access to this historically rich coastal area.
