The airport serving Sanandaj has a paltry number of domestic and regional destinations - a less-than-ideal situation for those seeking convenient access to the rest of Iran or the world. This public airport, operated by the Iran Airports Company, is a small facility that highlights the provincial nature of this Kurdish city. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the airport's website archived and difficult to access.

While Sanandaj may hold appeal for those seeking a more authentic Iranian experience away from the hustle and bustle of major cities, the limited transportation options and bureaucratic hurdles make it a tough sell for all but the most intrepid expats.
