Iran Aseman Airlines is an Iranian carrier founded in 1980, operating domestic and limited international routes across the Middle East and Central Asia. The airline serves numerous secondary Iranian cities that are underserved by other carriers, playing a key role in domestic connectivity. The airline has operated a mixed fleet over the years, including aging Western-built and Russian aircraft, and has faced challenges due to international sanctions limiting access to spare parts and new aircraft. A significant tragedy occurred in February 2018 when an ATR 72 crashed into the Zagros Mountains, killing all 66 people on board. Despite operational difficulties stemming from sanctions and fleet aging, Iran Aseman continues to function as one of Iran's major carriers, connecting dozens of domestic destinations and contributing to the country's aviation infrastructure.

Fleet

The airline has operated a mix of Boeing 727s, Boeing 737s, ATR 72s, Fokker 100s, and BAe 146 aircraft, many of which are aging due to sanctions-related restrictions on fleet renewal.
