Mehrabad Interglobal Airport (IATA: THR, ICAO: OIII) is an airport serving Tehran, the capital of Iran.

Despite this, in 2016, Mehrabad Airport was the busiest airport in Iran in terms of passengers, handling 16,678,351 passengers in total. The airport is also used by the Government of Iran, and is one of the bases of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.
