Kashmar Ultralight Airport occupies 17 hectares (42 acres) and exclusively services light and ultra-light aircraft on its runway.

Kashmar Ultralight Airport is the first light airport with a defense tower. It is speculated that this installment may have been implemented due to fears of an airplane collision like that of the 1993 Tehran mid-air collision. [1] (The 1993 Tehran incident was ultimately ruled to be not an act of terrorism, rather a result of poor communication between pilots and air traffic controllers).[2]

The hangar and office building will start with 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) of infrastructure and runway. In 2016, the first plane landed and took off at this airport.[3]

Kashmar Airport and associate Kavian Parvaz Shargh Company have obtained permissions for ultralight pilot training from the country's aviation organization, beginning with Captain Mohammad Reza Kaviani.[4]

Infrastructure

Kavian Airport Aviation Science and Technology Training Center is the largest and most equipped ultra-light aviation center in Kashmar with training in disciplines such as piloting, aircraft maintenance, dispatching, avionics and hospitality, as well as several training aircraft for student pilots, and a large hangar for students studying maintenance and overhaul.[5]

Kashmar Airport can be reached from Mashhad via Road 36 by private car, taxi or bus.
