Mashhad is the closest retained city-time anchor at 7.8 km. THR Tehran is the closest retained airport alternative at 752 km.
Country airport peers
MHD is compared with THR Tehran at 752 km, IKA Tehran at 771 km, PYK Karaj at 794 km, IFN Isfahan at 809 km, TBZ Tabriz at 1205 km inside the retained Iran airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

Decision matrix for MHD
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
MHD uses Asia/Tehran (IRST, UTC+03:30). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Mashhad International Airport is about 7.8 km from central Mashhad; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
THR Tehran is the closest retained alternate at 752 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
mashhad.airport.ir is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place MHD inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
MHD ranks #3 in the curated Iran airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 6 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
MHD shares Asia/Tehran with IFN Isfahan IR · IKA Tehran IR · PYK Karaj IR · TBZ Tabriz IR · THR Tehran IR. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
MHD is 3,263 ft (995 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include IKA 3,305 ft (1,007 m) (42 ft delta) · CLO 3,162 ft (964 m) (101 ft delta) · ESB 3,125 ft (952 m) (138 ft delta) · NAV 3,100 ft (945 m) (163 ft delta) · ASR 3,463 ft (1,056 m) (200 ft delta).

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Mashhad is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Mashhad is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Mashhad International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from MHD, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
