Mehrabad International Airport is an airport that serves Tehran, Iran. It remains the primary airport of Tehran but will soon be replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport that was completed in 2004, although the exact date of the change has been postponed several times. It is located much closer to the city center than Khomeini Airport.
On 19 June 2005 a Northwest Airlines DC-10 en route from Mumbai (Bombay) to Amsterdam diverted to Mehrabad Airport. No American airliners had landed in Iran since the revolution. The plane left 8 hours later without incident.
On 6 December 2005 an Iranian Air Force C-130 Hercules crashed in Tehran shortly after taking off from the airport.
