Accidents and incidents
On 13 April 1970, Douglas C-47B EP-AGZ of the Air Taxi Co. stalled on take-off and crashed. The aircraft was destroyed by the subsequent fire. It was operating a non-scheduled passenger flight. All 25 people on board survived.[6]
Airport move and rename
In December 2012, Agence France-Presse reported that Ahwaz airport was to be relocated because oil had been discovered underneath it.[7]
In June 2017, Ahwaz Airport measured a record breaking temperature as it hit 129.2 °F (54.0 °C), breaking its previous record of 127.4 °F (53.0 °C).[8]
