  "connection_tips": "Tabriz International Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway to Iran's East Azerbaijan Province, connecting the historic city of Tabriz to Tehran, other major Iranian cities, and select international destinations while supporting the region's significant role in Iran-Turkey-Azerbaijan trade corridors and cross-border commerce. Located at substantial elevation in mountainous northwest Iran near Turkish and Azerbaijani borders, the airport operates in challenging weather conditions including harsh winters with heavy snowfall, ice formation, and fog that can significantly impact flight schedules and require de-icing operations. Iran Air and Mahan Air provide primary domestic services to Tehran's airports, enabling connections to international destinations, while the facility also supports regional charter operations and cargo flights essential for the area's industrial and agricultural activities.\n\nThe airport serves Tabriz's 1.7 million metropolitan residents and surrounding regions engaged in carpet weaving, petrochemicals, machinery manufacturing, and agriculture, making reliable aviation connectivity essential for business travel and economic development in this historically important trading center. Ground transportation includes taxi services, airport buses connecting to downtown Tabriz, and private car rental services, though winter weather conditions can significantly affect transportation reliability requiring travelers to allow extra time during snowy or icy conditions. Terminal facilities include basic amenities with limited shopping and dining options, currency exchange services essential for international travelers, and standard security and immigration procedures, though international sanctions may affect some banking and payment services.\n\nWeather considerations require particular attention during winter months (December-March) when snowstorms can cause flight delays or cancellations, while summer months bring occasional thunderstorms and dust storms that can also impact operations. Emergency medical services coordinate with regional hospitals in Tabriz for local care, though the airport also serves as an important medical evacuation point for serious cases requiring advanced treatment in Tehran.",

  "terminal_info": "Tabriz International Airport is the main airport for East Azerbaijan and one of northwestern Iran's most important air gateways. Public aerodrome data lists OITT at about 4,459 ft elevation with customs status and two long runways over 3,500 m, which reflects a much more substantial operation than the old boilerplate suggested.\n\nIts role is shaped by Tabriz itself: a major industrial, commercial, and historical city near the Turkish and Azerbaijani corridors. The airport supports domestic links to Tehran and other cities while also carrying international and pilgrimage traffic from a high-elevation inland basin.\n\nTBZ should therefore be read as a significant regional international airport for northwest Iran, where winter weather, long runways, and Tabriz's cross-border economic importance all shape how the airport functions.",
