Kashmar UltraLight Airport

Kashmar Ultralight and Light Airport is an airport located southwest of Khorasan Razavi province (approximately 240 km from Mashhad) in the city of Kashmar, Iran.

Kashmar Ultralight Airport occupies 17 ha of land and exclusively services light and ultra-light aircraft on its one runway. The airport has one terminal.

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. (The 1993 Tehran incident was ultimately ruled to be not an act of terrorism but rather a result of poor communication between pilots and air traffic controllers.) The defense tower might also, at some point, be used by Iran's military in support of UAV operations in the middle east.

The infrastructure consists of a hangar and office building occupying 2,000 sqm and a runway. In 2016, flights began from this airport.

Kashmar Airport and associate, Kavian Parvaz Shargh Company, obtained permission for ultralight pilot training from the country's aviation organization: the first trainee was Captain Mohammad Reza Kaviani.

Infrastructure
The Kavian Airport Aviation Science and Technology Training Center is the largest and most equipped ultralight aviation center in Kashmar. It offers training in becoming a pilot, aircraft maintenance, dispatching, avionics, and hospitality. The center provides a large range of aircraft for student pilots and a large hangar for students studying maintenance.

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