Nine major airport infrastructure projects will be inaugurated across Iran during the TenDay Dawn which marks the 41st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Mehr news agency reported. According to Mohammad Zahmatkeshan, the Director-General for Civil and Airports Development of Iran Airport Company (IAC), over IRR 2.37 trillion (about USD 56.5 million) has been funded for these. With these projects going operational, some 11,900 m² of terminal space and 123,750 m2 of airport operating space will be added to the country’s airports, according to Zahmatkeshan. Isfahan, Sari, Lorestan, Shahroud, and Jahrom are among the airports in which some of the projects are going to be inaugurated. Back in August 2019, 25 major infrastructure projects were inaugurated at nine different airports across Iran on the occasion of the Government Week (24-30 August). Ardabil, Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashhad, Mehrabad, Orumieh, Shahroud, Bushehr and Zanjan airports were among the airports in which the projects went operational. A news conference at Tabriz International Airport reported that 57 other development projects would be inaugurated in 36 airports of the country, and construction of these projects would begin in the near future. Also in June 2019, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani inaugurated a new passenger terminal within the Imam Khomeini International Airport in southern Tehran. It was designed and built by local contractors after European companies pulled out of the project in 2017. The Salam Terminal is the second of three at Tehran’s IKIA inaugurated by President Hassan Rouhani to handle 5 million passengers a year. Salam has increased the airport’s overall annual capacity by 80% to about 12 million passengers. #1131.23
