Shahid Sadooghi Airport is the primary commercial airport serving Yazd, a UNESCO World Heritage city in central Iran known for its historic Zoroastrian heritage and distinctive mud-brick architecture. The airport is named after Mohammad Javad Bahonar Sadooghi, a local martyr of the Iran-Iraq War era. The airport handles domestic routes connecting Yazd to Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, and other major Iranian cities, as well as limited international services. It serves as an important transport link for both residents and tourists visiting this culturally significant region. Due to international sanctions and the structure of Iran's aviation market, the airport is served primarily by Iranian domestic carriers. Passenger volumes reflect the size of Yazd province and its growing tourism sector.
