Ramsar was one of the popular cities of northern Iran during the Pahlavi era and the airport was constructed to serve tourists visiting Ramsar. There were also some palaces of Mohammad Reza Shah and other pahlavi family members in Ramsar, therefore the airport was used as a way to serve the former royalty of Iran or foreign officials visiting Iran from Tehran, and established special flights for employees of National Iranian Oil Company to bring them from Ahwaz to the north of Iran .
