Tashkuye Airport

There is no official documented reason for its closure. The most likely reason is abandonment following the completion of the specific, temporary project it was built to support. Such rudimentary airstrips are often constructed for short-term industrial or agricultural purposes (e.g., oil and gas exploration, geological surveys, or crop dusting). Once the project concluded or was deemed not viable, the airstrip was left to decay due to a lack of continued economic or strategic purpose.

The site is currently an abandoned airstrip. The outline of the approximately 1,200-meter (3,900-foot) runway is still visible from the air, but the surface is degraded, unmaintained, and blending back into the surrounding arid landscape. There is no infrastructure such as buildings, hangars, lighting, or fencing on the site. It is completely unused.

The airport holds no significant historical importance. It was a very basic, unpaved dirt airstrip, likely for private or special-use, and does not appear in official records of Iran's public airports. Its ICAO code, IR-0082, is a national identifier, not an official international one, underscoring its minor status. When active, its operations would have been restricted to small, light aircraft capable of landing on unprepared surfaces. It did not handle any scheduled commercial passenger or cargo traffic.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening this airstrip. Given its remote location, the complete lack of infrastructure, and the existence of larger, paved airports in the wider region (like Lamerd Airport, OISR), there is no apparent economic or logistical incentive to invest in its rehabilitation.
