Siri Island Sirri Island Airport (SXI)

Sirri Island, located in the Persian Gulf off Iran’s southern coastline, is a strategically significant destination for private travellers, driven primarily by its role as a major oil and gas hub operated by the National Iranian Oil Company. Sirri Airport, identified by IATA code SXI, serves as the gateway for energy sector executives, government officials, and specialist contractors requiring direct, efficient access to this remote island. Chartering a private jet to Sirri Island ensures seamless connectivity to a location where commercial air links are extremely limited and logistical precision is paramount. The island’s offshore oil platforms and petrochemical facilities make it one of Iran’s most operationally active energy sites in the Persian Gulf region.

Flying Privately to Sirri Island

Sirri Airport’s runway capacity accommodates a broad range of aircraft types, ensuring that charter operators can match the right jet to each mission profile.

About Sirri Airport

Sirri Airport (SXI / OIBS) is a state-operated facility under Iranian civil aviation authority oversight, purpose-built to support the intensive oil and gas extraction activities conducted on and around Sirri Island in the Persian Gulf. The airport handles a mix of domestic turboprop services, rotary-wing operations supporting offshore platforms, and executive charter flights serving industry personnel. Its substantial runway length of approximately 3,050 metres permits medium and larger jet aircraft to operate without payload restriction, a critical consideration for long-range missions from European or Asian business centres. Customs and immigration formalities for private charter arrivals are conducted on-site, though advance coordination with Iranian authorities is essential for all foreign-registered aircraft. The airport’s remote island setting means that ground support arrangements must be confirmed well in advance of any charter operation.
