We have come a long way from our humble origin as a small domestic airline. Our story began when Mahan Air was incorporated in 1992 as the first private airline in Iran. At its operational launch in May 1993, Mahan Air had modest fleet comprising two Tupolev 154 aircraft, a staff of 99 and a route network from Tehran to 2 domestic destinations. It also had great potential and boundless ambitions.

After few years of relatively slow growth, Mahan Air real growth was initiated with the addition of Airbus A300 wide-body equipment to the fleet in 1999 and the A310 in 2001.This enabled the airline to reach beyond regional destinations it served at that time.

Currently, our route network spans 21 destinations in 10 countries and we have a modern fleet of 11 all Airbus aircraft and have 1400 employees.

Mahan Air is a member of International Air Transport Association (IATA).
