Iran Air is the national airline of Iran and the country's largest airline. Founded in 1944, Iran Air initially operated under the name "Imperial Iranian Airways". Until the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, Iran Air had a significant international transportation network. After the revolution, the company came under state control and continued its operations under the name "Iran Air".

Iran Air's Goals and Areas of Operation:

Domestic: It operates a number of intercity flights in Iran.

International: Iran Air operates flights to the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa and North America.

Modernization Efforts: Although it has had difficulties in fleet renewal due to economic sanctions for many years, it has been working on aircraft purchases and fleet modernization in recent years.

Fleet:

Iran Air's fleet consists of aircraft from major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus. The company used old aircraft, especially due to the impact of economic sanctions, but has recently made various agreements to purchase new and modern aircraft.
