Iran CIP International Airport
Persian Hospitality from the IKA airport
What are CIP (Commercial Important Persons) services
After a long flight between two countries, with swollen feet and maybe lack of proper sleep, it seems very difficult to wait for your suitcase at baggage claim or maybe spend an hour to receive your visa on arrival and at last start to bargain with the taxi driver for a reasonable price of a transfer to your hotel! As a traveler who takes many trips during a year, you may prefer to skip these stages in order to have more time for taking a good rest at hotel or maybe starting to explore the city you have just entered. CIP airport services are the solution and are available to manage tiring errands mentioned above to the lowest level. CIP, which stands for Commercially Important Person, includes various airport amenities, usually provided to celebrated business figures like the managers of big companies and famous business owners, but since these services are purchasable every traveler can reserve airport CIP services. The difference between CIP and VIP services is that CIP doesn’t include security and that is why every traveler who is interested can use these facilities and make their trip easier. Especially in a destination where is visited for the first time, CIP services are more helpful.
