After the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran during World War II, two runways were built.[11]

A new terminal opened in August 1958, with Reza Shah cutting the ribbon at the inauguration ceremony.[12] In the 1960s, the United States Army Corps of Engineers finished work on the airport's paved surfaces, which included adding taxiways and enlarging the apron.[13][14]

On 5 December 1974, the roof collapsed on the main lounge of the terminal after a heavy snowfall, killing 16 people.[15][16]
