Gachsaran Airport
Gachsaran Airport (GCH) serves Gachsaran, a town in Iran's Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province closely tied to the country's oil and gas industry, sitting within one of Iran's long-established petroleum-producing zones. The airport primarily supports domestic flights linking the town to Tehran and other regional centers, with traffic historically influenced by energy sector personnel and equipment movement as much as by general passenger demand. GCH is a modest facility by international standards, equipped for narrow-body domestic aircraft rather than larger international operations. Its continued operation depends heavily on the surrounding oil infrastructure and the broader economic activity generated by extraction and processing facilities nearby.
