Gateway to Iran's Kurdish heartland in Kurdistan Province.

Location
Sanandaj, Iran
Sanandaj Airport (IATA: SDG, ICAO: OICS) serves Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan Province in western Iran. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise accessible primarily by road through mountainous terrain. The airport handles domestic flights linking Sanandaj to major Iranian cities, most notably Tehran. It is a relatively small facility catering to the regional travel needs of Kurdistan Province's population. Operations are modest in scale, with limited daily movements, reflecting the size of the catchment area. The airport plays an important role in reducing travel times compared to lengthy overland journeys through the Zagros Mountains.
Terminals
The airport operates a single modest terminal building handling both departures and arrivals for domestic services.

Taxis and private vehicles are the primary means of ground transport connecting the airport to central Sanandaj, approximately 10–15 km away.
