Bandar Abbas International Airport (BND/OIKB) is the primary airport serving Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province in southern Iran. Located near the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, it operates domestic flights to major Iranian cities plus limited regional international services. The airport is a key gateway for business travelers, port traffic, and visitors heading to Qeshm, Hormuz, and Kish islands.
💡 Local Tip
Keep small Iranian rial cash for taxis and snacks—foreign cards generally do not work at BND, and ATMs may not accept international cards. Also, summer heat and humidity are extreme, so carry water and avoid long outdoor waits.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and ride-hailing apps such as Snapp are the most practical way to reach central Bandar Abbas; agree on the fare or use the app before leaving the terminal. There is no rail link, and public buses are limited, so allow extra time during peak hours and for security checks. If you are continuing to Qeshm Island, arrange your transfer to Shahid Haqqani Port in advance.
