Imam Khomeini International Airport (IATA: IKA, ICAO: OIIE) (In Persian: فرودگاه بین‌المللی امام خمینی) is located in Tehran, Iran. The airport is located about 30 kilometers 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.

History:
The construction began before the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The original design was based on Dallas Airport. The original designers were TAMS, a consortium of US designers. A local joint venture was formed and was called TAMS-AFA to carry out the full design and supervision of construction. (wikipedia)
