On-time performance appears to be a notable strength.

Common Complaints

Limited Terminal Facilities and Amenities: General ratings for Terminal facilities are 50%, and Food and retail services are rated at 40%, suggesting a basic offering. There is a lack of detailed information on the variety and quality of shops, restaurants, or other amenities.
Poor Wi-Fi Connectivity: Traveler ratings for Wi-Fi are notably low at 20%, indicating potential issues with internet access or speed within the airport.
Lack of Detailed Traveler Feedback: A significant drawback is the absence of detailed written traveler reviews, making it difficult to pinpoint specific recurring issues or praises beyond numerical ratings.

Overall, Dezful Airport appears to be a functional regional airport with efficient security and good punctuality for its domestic operations. However, travelers should anticipate a basic experience regarding terminal amenities and potentially unreliable Wi-Fi, due to the limited scope of facilities and the absence of extensive positive feedback on these aspects.
