Overview

Persian Gulf International Airport (OIBP) serves the Khiyaroo region in Iran, positioned at 27.379601, 52.737701 with an elevation of 27 ft MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Persian Gulf coastal area, supporting regional transportation and commercial aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 59.3% of observations in visual flight rules and an additional 30% in marginal VFR. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast at 135°, averaging 6.7 knots with occasional peaks to 25 knots, and calm conditions occur 36% of the time. Temperature ranges from 6°C to 40°C, with an average of 24.3°C.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway 13/31, measuring 13,115 feet with an asphaltic surface. Its low elevation and coastal location suggest minimal terrain challenges for approaching aircraft. Wind data indicates excellent runway alignment, with the current runway favoring wind conditions 100% of the time and presenting an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during January, November, and December, which represent the best VFR months. The runway's orientation and consistent wind patterns from the southeast provide predictable approach and departure environments. With consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) and minimal fog occurrence (0.1%), instrument approaches should generally be straightforward.
