Dubai to Tehran flights — times, airports and live status

How to read the Dubai to Tehran board

This page lists scheduled Dubai to Tehran flights for the date you choose. Each card carries the airline, the flight number, the scheduled departure time, the updated time once the airline files it, and the current status.

Match your flight by its number rather than by time. Several flights can leave within the same hour, and the number is the only field that identifies yours unambiguously.

The board is refreshed through the day. Treat it as a planning tool: the airline's own notification and the screens inside the terminal remain the final word on the day of travel.

Scheduled time and actual time are different things

The scheduled time is what the airline filed in advance. The updated time is when the aircraft is now expected to move. When a flight shows 18:00 scheduled and 20:00 updated, it is running two hours behind.

An empty updated time does not mean the flight is on time — it means the airline has not filed a revision yet. Read the status field alongside it.

Airports on this route

Departures leave from Dubai International Airport (DXB) and arrive at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA).

Tehran has more than one airport. International flights on this route use Imam Khomeini (IKA), not Mehrabad (THR), so check the code before travelling to the wrong terminal.

Landing time is not the same as the time a passenger walks out of the building. Immigration and baggage add to it, which matters if someone is meeting you.

How long the Dubai to Tehran flight takes

A direct Dubai to Tehran flight usually takes 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes. Routing, weather and air traffic move that figure a little in either direction.

That covers time in the air only. Getting to the airport, check-in, bag drop, passport control and clearing the arrivals hall all sit outside it.

Distance

The great-circle distance between the two airports is roughly 1,200 kilometres. The aircraft's actual track is usually a little longer, because permitted airways rarely follow a straight line.

Which days flights operate

Operating days shift with the season, with demand and with each airline's schedule, so a fixed weekly list printed here would be wrong within a month. Pick a date at the top of the page instead and the board will show what is filed for it.

Around holidays and peak periods, times and frequencies change more often than usual. If your trip depends on a specific day, check a few days ahead and again on the morning of travel.

Terminal and gate

Terminals are not the same for every airline on this route, and this board does not publish a terminal number. Confirm it from the airline's message or the airport's own information before you leave.

The terminal is the building where you check in; the gate is where you board, and gates can change after you are already airside. Keep following the screens until boarding.

Documents

A valid passport is the essential document, and the name, passport number and date of birth on your booking must match it exactly. A mismatch causes trouble at check-in, not at the gate where it is too late to fix.

Entry requirements depend on nationality and residency status and they change. Check the rules for your own passport rather than relying on what applied to someone else's.
