There is very little chance of any worthwhile extension to the runway especially if the clowncil goes ahead with the new AECC. This would likely rule out the 300m southern extension mentioned in the...

I wonder if Iran will seek ATC help from outsiders such as Serco or NATS. The airspace in Western Iran has gone from nothing to mega-busy overnight. Any ANSP would struggle under these circumstances!
