Mehran Karimi Nasseri (born 1942), also known as Sir, Alfred
Mehran (including the comma), is an Iranian refugee who
lived in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de
Gaulle Airport from 8 August 1988 until July 2006, when he
was hospitalized for an unspecified ailment. His
autobiography has been published as a book and he may
have been the basis for the movie The Terminal.
Reality was a lot different for Iranian-born Merhan, who
preferred the nickname Sir Alfred. He became mentally
fragile over the years and was unwilling to engage with the
real world. Living in an artificial environment, he never saw
open sky or breathed fresh air during his almost two decades
years living in the airport terminal.
French officials didn’t know what to do with him when he
arrived back at Charles De Gaulle airport. He had been
expelled from his homeland, Iran, in 1977 and spent the next
few years bouncing around European cities until he
unsuccessfully tried to enter Britain in 1988. A court case
ruled that French authorities couldn’t forcibly remove him
from the airport.
