Arak Airport (IATA: AJK, ICAO: OIHR) is an international airport in Arak, the capital of Markazi Province in Iran.
Following the establishment of the consulates of England, Germany, and Switzerland and companies such as Ziegler & Co. in Arak, the British thought of establishing an airport due to the city's distance from the sea and maritime facilities as well as major airports.
During World War II, the airport was used by Britain and its allies for military purposes.
With the arrival of a Boeing 707 aircraft carrying the former President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on June 9, 2013, Arak airport was officially re-opened along with a new runway and apron.
