Remote island airport serving a disputed Persian Gulf territory.

Location

Abu Musa, Iran

Abu Musa Island Airport is a small airport located on Abu Musa Island in the Persian Gulf. The island itself is subject to a territorial dispute between Iran, which administers it, and the United Arab Emirates, which also claims sovereignty over it. The airport primarily serves military and government purposes, given the strategic sensitivity of the island. Civilian air service is extremely limited, and the airport does not function as a significant commercial hub. Due to the disputed status of the island and Iranian control, access to the airport and the island itself is highly restricted for non-residents and foreign nationals.
