Salam Passenger Terminal of Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA) is the first airport project which has been built by domestic manufacturers, a member of the IKIA board of directors said.

Iran Press/Iran News: "The terminal was completely designed and built by Iranian experts due to the US sanctions, so we decided to use domestic manufacturers," Kouroush Fatahi told IKAC (Imam Khomeini Airport City Company) news service.

The official said that the new terminal with the capacity to transport five million passengers per year, will become operational within next several months, Iran Press reported.

According to a master plan for IKIA, the passenger capacity of the airport will reach to 30 million per year within the next few years.

The master plan for the IKIA Airport City includes developing a 1,500-hectare free trade zone and a 2,500-hectare special economic zone in a 13,700-hectare area surrounding IKIA.

The plan also aims to establish 25 commercial facilities encompassing a wide range of commercial activities, including manufacturing, telecommunication and logistics, hotels, retailers entertainment complexes and exhibition centers, in a 400-hectare area in the vicinity of the airport.

The airport currently features one passenger terminal, two parallel runways and several logistics and maintenance facilities.
