World-Class Aviation Infrastructure – ANIN Engineering Company’s Airport Projects
ANIN’s focused efforts in this division —particularly on the development of international flight terminals in southeastern Iran, including Kerman International Airport and Zahedan Airport—reflect the company’s commitment to enhancing Iran’s presence in the global air transportation network.
Kerman International Airport – Redefining Passenger Experience
In the development and modernization of the international terminal at Kerman Airport, ANIN has taken an innovative and technically precise approach to designing and supervising the construction of a modern complex aligned with global aviation standards. The services provided in this project include:
- Architectural design inspired by local culture, emphasizing smooth passenger flow
- Structural, mechanical and electrical engineering with an energy-efficient approach
- Upgrading customs, passport control and waiting areas to streamline international processes
- Comprehensive project supervision and management for precise quality and schedule control
This project, aimed at increasing flight capacity and creating a pleasant passenger experience, has reinforced Kerman Airport’s role as one of Iran’s major gateways to the Middle East and Central Asia.
Zahedan Airport – Strengthening Cross-Border Connections in Eastern Iran
At Zahedan Airport, ANIN has been responsible for the design and engineering of the international terminal, responding to the region’s growing needs with a forward-thinking vision. Key features of this project include:
- A scalable terminal design capable of accommodating future air traffic demands
- Integration of modern technologies in flight information, passenger safety, and baggage handling
- Use of materials and systems tailored to the unique climate of Sistan and Baluchestan
- Collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure seamless terminal operations
This terminal has been designed to enhance eastern Iran’s international accessibility and to foster commercial and cultural exchange with neighboring countries.
Our Vision for Airport Development
More than just constructing buildings, our presence in major airport projects across the country reflects our role in sustainable development, facilitating air transport, and improving the quality of transit services. ANIN continues to contribute to strengthening Iran’s critical infrastructure with purpose and precision.
