Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani Airport (Persian: فرودگاه بینالمللی آیتالله هاشمی رفسنجانی) (IATA: KER, ICAO: OIKK) is an airport in Kerman, Iran. The airport is used for commercial, general aviation and military training purposes. Flights began operating in 1970.[2]
Previously named the Kerman International Airport, the airport received its current name in 2017, after the death of the former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, earlier that year.
Mahan Air flight crew's simulator centre and cabin crew training centre is located at the airport. It is also the main hub for Bootia-Mahan Aviation College.[3]
