Aghajari Airport
Aghajari Airport sits at a low 88 feet above sea level near Omidiyeh, in Iran's oil-rich Khuzestan Province in the country's southwest, its single runway set in a hot, low-lying region near the head of the Persian Gulf. Khuzestan is home to much of Iran's petroleum industry, and towns like Omidiyeh grew up around that activity rather than around older population centers. Industry-related travel and limited domestic routes crowd out most else here, reflecting Aghajari's connection to the oil fields that shape the surrounding landscape.
