Mehrabad International Airport in 1971. Mehrabad was to become one of the busiest and most modern airports in western Asia by the late 1970s, but the revolution understandably disrupted the hub of international tourism. In the 1960s, when jet travel was still a novelty to most people and airports captivated the public imagination, the airport was home to popular jazz lounges, according to Farrokh. Imam Khomeini International Airport now handles most international flights to and from Iran.
