Terminal 2

All public info lists only one terminal building at ABD

Every aviation source on Abadan Ayatollah Jami International Airport (IATA: ABD) describes a single passenger terminal, so anything labeled “Terminal 2” is likely just an internal or airline use tag rather than a physically separate building. Iran Air and Meraj Airlines both operate from this same passenger area, using shared check-in desks and shared departure gates rather than split facilities.

Flight schedules for Iran Air and Meraj show domestic and regional services timed across the day, but you’ll still see long quiet gaps where no aircraft are parked at the one main apron. That means Terminal 2, as listed, behaves more like a zone or designation within the main terminal than its own structure, with the same single set of security lanes, the same boarding hall, and the same small arrival area with one flow from baggage claim to the landside exit.

Because no separate Terminal 2 layout appears in airport diagrams or NOTAMs, assume one entrance road, one drop-off lane, and one cluster of doors feeding straight into the combined check-in hall for both Iran Air and Meraj Airlines. Check-in counters open on a per-flight basis, often about 2 to 3 hours before departure, so showing up unusually early can mean standing in a quiet hall with shutters down and no staff at the desks yet.

Terminal amenities for the shared ABD building are minimal: no catalogued restaurants, no branded coffee chain, and no named duty-free or retail shops listed in any current directory. You may find a small kiosk selling bottled water and snacks for a few tens of thousands of Iranian rials, but there is no mapped food court or chain outlet, so eat before you reach the airport or bring something from Abadan city if you have dietary needs or strict timing around meals.

Lounges are also absent from official material on ABD, and there is no separate Iran Air or Meraj Airlines lounge noted in alliance or credit card program lists. Without any documented VIP or business lounge in the terminal, even travelers on higher fares or with elite status use the same main seating around the gates, and the only quiet space is usually whatever empty corner you can find near the less-used departure doors.

The lack of documented shops extends to arrivals: baggage claim in the ABD terminal shows up in descriptions as a simple belt area directly after immigration, without named pharmacies, banks, or car rental counters attached. If you need rials in cash, plan for an ATM or exchange office in Abadan city rather than counting on a functioning machine in the terminal, and sort out ground transport—taxi or private car—before your bag hits the single carousel.

Public references do not split security or gates between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 codes, so connecting between Iran Air and Meraj inside ABD likely means walking a short distance within the same building rather than transferring between numbered terminals. Still build at least 60 minutes for any self-transfer across airlines here, because check-in cutoffs can sit around 45 minutes before departure and everything closes sharply once the last passenger clears the single gate door.

The practical play: treat Terminal 2 at Abadan Ayatollah Jami International Airport as the same small passenger building used by all flights, arrive about 2 hours before scheduled departure on Iran Air or Meraj, and sort food, cash, and mobile data in town before you head out to the airport access road.
