Abstract
The daily increase in air travel and the number of passengers, the rapid development of air transportation, and the increase in their extent have created issues in the locating of airports, which require the planning and application of airport and aeronautical knowledge and techniques. Establishing airports, with due regard to thier requirements demanding significant space in the vicinity of a city, requires a great deal of investment. Therefore, its construction requires a comprehensive economic, social, political and environmental study, and its location should be appropriate in terms of natural, geological and meteorological conditions. For this purpose, in this paper, while presenting the standard indexes in the location of airports, we also examine the problems of Mehrabad Airport.
