      Mehrabad International Airport (THR) Overview

      Mehrabad International Airport is the primary domestic airport serving Tehran, Iran. Located just west of the city center, Mehrabad has a rich history, having once been the main international gateway to the country. Today, the airport primarily handles domestic flights, making it a crucial hub for travelers within Iran. With its strategic location, Mehrabad is easily accessible from various parts of Tehran and neighboring regions. The airport features modern amenities, multiple terminals, and efficient ground handling services for millions of passengers each year. Despite its focus on domestic routes, Mehrabad maintains a high standard of operations and passenger comfort. Its proximity to Tehran's city center makes it the preferred choice for many travelers seeking convenience and quick transit options.

      Mehrabad International Airport ranks among the busiest airports in Iran and the Middle East, but it does not appear in the top air traffic rankings for Europe or worldwide due to its domestic focus. The airport is situated in the IRST (Iran Standard Time, UTC +3:30) time zone. Located approximately 10 kilometers from downtown Tehran, Mehrabad offers swift access to the city center and nearby districts such as Azadi Square and Enghelab Square. The closest major city is Tehran itself, with Karaj also within accessible distance.

      Air Passenger Rights at Mehrabad International Airport (THR)

      If your flight from Mehrabad International Airport was delayed or cancelled, you may be eligible for compensation under certain circumstances. Although Mehrabad primarily handles domestic flights within Iran, international passengers connecting to or from the European Union have rights under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EC 261). If your journey began in the EU or your flight to the EU was operated by an EU-based airline, these regulations apply.

      Under EU 261/EC 261, you are entitled to compensation if your flight was delayed by more than three hours, cancelled without sufficient notice, or you were denied boarding due to overbooking. The compensation amounts are determined by the flight distance:

      • For flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per passenger
      • For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: up to €400 per passenger
      • For flights over 3,500 km: up to €600 per passenger

      To qualify, your flight must either depart from an EU airport or arrive in the EU with an EU carrier. This means passengers flying from Tehran Mehrabad to the EU with a European airline, or connecting from the EU via Mehrabad, may be eligible for compensation in the event of delays or cancellations.

      Compensation claims can be made for various disruptions, including flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. The airline is required to inform you of your rights and provide care such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation when necessary.
