Iran ... to witness a new chapter in domestic transportation sector.

Iran plans seven new international airports

TEHRAN, October 4, 2015

Iran will construct seven international airports near Tehran, a senior government official said.

"We will witness a new chapter in various sectors, including transportation, in view of Iran's strategic position in the region," Roads and Urban Development Minister Abbas Akhoundi was quoted as saying in the Iran Daily report.

About 92 per cent of domestic transportation is conducted by road, he added, noting that this figure will be reduced to 78 percent by boosting air transportation from its current 0.1 to one per cent, he added.

"Seven international airports, with the capacity of receiving 400 long-haul flights each, will be constructed around Tehran to improve transit potentials in the region," Akhoundi said.

The government will invited foreign investments to improve domestic infrastructure and transit projects, including the intended airports, he highlighted.
