Urmia Airport
OMH identifies Urmia Airport, serving Urmia, the capital of West Azerbaijan province in northwestern Iran. Urmia lies near Lake Urmia, once one of the largest saltwater lakes in the Middle East, though it has suffered significant shrinkage in recent decades due to drought and water diversion, an environmental crisis that has drawn international attention. OMH provides domestic connections to Tehran and other major Iranian cities, supporting the region's substantial Azerbaijani and Kurdish population centers. The airport plays an important role in regional commerce and travel given Urmia's distance from Tehran and its position near the borders with Turkey and Iraq. OMH remains a moderately busy domestic gateway within Iran's aviation network.
