  "connection_tips": "Persian Gulf International Airport is the main air gateway to the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone around Asaluyeh, and the connection is usually a road transfer to the industrial sites, company housing, or the nearby town rather than an airline-to-airline interchange. The airport is modern and busy enough to handle regular domestic traffic, but the real planning question is whether your next stop is a hotel, a worksite, or another city in Iran, because the airport mainly serves the oil and gas corridor. If you are arriving for business, the best move is to use the company car or pre-booked shuttle that knows the energy-zone access rules, because the airport's value is in getting you close to the terminal area and then moving you efficiently through the industrial perimeter. That makes PGU different from a pure city airport: it is as much a logistics node as a passenger terminal. For travelers continuing onward inside Iran, the airport can be a good domestic launch point, but the ground transfer to Asaluyeh or the special economic zone is what makes the trip feel complete. In short, the useful connection is a coordinated road handoff, not a rushed terminal transfer. If you have the shuttle and the destination lined up before you land, PGU works well; if not, it becomes just another stop in a tightly controlled industrial travel pattern.",

  "terminal_info": "Persian Gulf International Airport (PGU) is a critical aviation hub serving the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone (PSEEZ) near Asaluyeh, Iran. The airport features a modernized passenger terminal building specifically designed to handle the high volume of technical and business travelers associated with the South Pars Gas Field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. It acts as a vital infrastructure link, connecting the industrial port city to major national hubs like Tehran, Shiraz, and Isfahan.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential amenities for travelers, including air-conditioned waiting lounges, digital flight information systems, and free Wi-Fi throughout the building. Passengers have access to several caf\u00e9s and restaurants serving both local and international cuisine, alongside retail outlets for travel essentials and regional products. The facility is currently undergoing a major expansion project which includes a new 14,000-square-meter terminal building equipped with seven modern air-bridges to eventually separate domestic and international operations.\n\nOperationally, the airport features a substantial 13,115-foot (3,997m) asphalt runway capable of accommodating large wide-body aircraft. Ground transportation to central Asaluyeh, located approximately 14 miles (23 km) to the northwest, is well-supported by authorized airport taxi ranks and private hire vehicle services, with the journey typically taking 20 to 25 minutes. Due to the region's extreme desert climate, the terminal is maintained at high standards of climate control, providing a comfortable environment for engineers and personnel transitioning to the energy zone's operational sites.",
