Distance & flight time from PGU
Persian Gulf International Airport
PGU identifies Persian Gulf International Airport near Khiyaroo (Asaluyeh), Iran, a facility built primarily to serve Iran's massive South Pars gas field operations along the Persian Gulf coast. Unlike typical passenger-focused medium airports, PGU exists largely to support the oil and gas workforce, ferrying engineers, contractors, and offshore personnel to and from one of the world's largest natural gas reservoirs. The surrounding Asaluyeh region has grown into a major petrochemical hub, and the airport's traffic reflects that industrial focus rather than tourism. Limited scheduled commercial service connects PGU to Tehran and other Iranian cities, making it a niche but strategically important airport for the country's energy sector.
