Imam Khomeini International Airport (IATA: IKA, ICAO: OIIE) (Persian: فرودگاه بین‌المللی امام خمینی) is located in Tehran, Iran. The airport is located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the city. It was designed to replace Mehrabad International Airport, which is in the west of the city, now inside the city boundaries. The airport, originally designated as Ahmadabad,^{[citation needed]} is now named after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Iranian revolution in 1979.

History

The construction began before the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The original design was based on Dallas Love Field^{[citation needed]}. The original designers were TAMS, a consortium of U.S. designers. A local joint venture was formed and was called TAMS-AFA to carry out the full design and supervision of construction. Protestors take to the street in support of Ayatollah Khomeini. ... Dallas Love Field (IATA: DAL, ICAO: KDAL, FAA LID: DAL) is a public airport located five miles (8 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of the City of Dallas, in Dallas County, Texas, USA. The airport covers 1,300 acres and has three runways. ... Designer is a broad term for a person who designs any of a variety of things. ... A joint venture (often abbreviated JV) is an entity formed between two or more parties to undertake economic activity together. ...

After the Islamic Revolution, the project was abandoned until the government of Iran decided to design and build the airport using local know-how. The French firm ADP was selected to head the local designers and engineering firms. A turnkey design and build contract was awarded to a local general contractor company, Kayson, to carry out and manage the construction. After two years this contract was abandoned and was awarded to a Bonyad, the Mostazafan & Janbazan (M&J Foundation), a public cartel.

After construction of the main terminal was finished by M&J Foundation, the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization decided to turn the management of operations along with the construction of the second terminal to the TAV (Tepe-Akfen-Vie) consortium of two Turkish (Tepe and Akfen) and an Austrian (Vie) companies.

There were numerous issues surrounding the construction of the airport including the supply of fuel to the new airport, and a delay in signing a deal with the Iranian oil ministry forced a delay in the opening of the airport until May 8, 2004.

"I think they (the military) were given false reports that the Turks were still on the site, while they had all evacuated the airport by Friday," airport manager Hussein Pirouzi said.

However, on May 8, a few hours after the opening of airport, the Revolutionary Guards of the Iranian Armed Forces closed it, citing security fears over the use of foreigners in the running of the airport. Only one Emirates flight from Dubai was allowed to land. The second flight from Dubai, which was an Iran Air flight, was forced to land in Isfahan International Airport, because the Mehrabad Airport did not allow it to land there after the Imam Khomeini airport was closed by the armed forces.

TAV officials, who had agreed to clear out for two weeks for the dispute to be settled, also stated that they believed the memorandum of understanding they signed with the Iranian government last year to operate the airport's Terminal 1 is still in effect.^{[citation needed]}

Further complicating matters, on April 29, 2005, the United Kingdom and Canada warned its citizens against using the airport due to alleged safety concerns concerning the runway, which has been claimed to have been built over ancient qanats (subterranean waterways) [1] [2]. Iranian officials countered these claims by stating that there are no safety issues and that the International Civil Aviation Organisation had inspected and approved the airport. is the 119th day of the year (120th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

2008 Passenger protest

On January 4 2008, a heavy storm took place throughout the Tehran and Gilan Province, a storm so strong that Iran had never seen for over fifty years. As a result all flights were cancelled for an entire week due to poor weather conditions^{[citation needed]}. However, due to the airports lack of standard resources such as: restaurants, nearby hotels, duty free shopping stores and most importantly lack of updated announcements, angry passengers lead a loud and violent riot inside the airport, demanding answers, free supplies and even the resignation of the airport operator, Iran Air were given to them. As a result, all airport and airline officials were told to halt peaceful co-operation with the passengers in the airport and started ignoring the passengers altogether, no matter what their questions were. So the majority of the passengers (who were determined to get answers from the airport in some way) attacked airline officials.

IKIA Phase 1 Shy of Rls3 Trillion

• About 3,000 billion rials have been sought for completing Phase 1 of Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA)Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA), in the next Iranian year to March 2009, announced managing director of the State Airports Company, Asghar Ketabchi.

According to a fax sent to Iran Daily by the company's Information Dissemination Department, if the sum is made available and the same amount is earmarked for the year to March 2010, the first phase of the airport would go into operation in the year to March 2009. He said that constructing the second runway, completing Customs Administrations' and a number of other buildings are among the projects for Phase 1 of IKIA. Presently the airport has the capacity to handle 6.5 million passengers per annum, he said and noted that 3 million people will use the airport by March 19. Given the eight percent growth in flights, it is estimated that IKIA will have moved five million passengers by March 2009. The newly-built Imam Khomeini International, the largest airport in Iran, sprawls over an area of 13,500 hectares. About 3.2 trillion rials will be needed to promote the airport to a world-class level.

Iran to compensate Turkey's TAV

• Iran has agreed to pay $5.7 million in compensation to Turkey's TAV Airports Holding TAVHL.IS after its contract to operate Tehran's new airport was scrapped in 2004, an Iranian news agency said.

Mehr news agency quoted an unnamed source as saying the cabinet approved a measure requiring the state airports body to pay the $5.7 million to TAV. It was not immediately clear whether the amount was all or part of compensation claims by TAV. Iranian officials could not be contacted immediately to confirm the report. TAV won an 11-year contract in 2003 to operate Terminal One of the city's new international airport and build a second terminal there for about $200 million. But the project fell through after Iranian hardliners opposed allowing a foreign firm to take such a key role. The airport was re-opened under Iranian management. A TAV consortium poured $15 million into the airport but was unceremoniously thrown out on the eve of the first flights in 2004 by hardline Revolutionary Guards.
