Before the Iranian revolution, Iran had a good relationship with the United States. At that time, it bought many new planes and expanded its routes. However, after the Iranian revolution in 1979, it became hostile to the United States and suffered economic sanctions, making it difficult to buy new aircraft from the west (especially the United States). As a result, iran air's fleet is generally aging. Only old and new Airbus aircraft and Fokker 100 aircraft were purchased from Europe, and it is also one of the few airlines still operating Boeing 747SP. Iranian Airlines will order 35 Russian-made tupolev 204 aircraft. Iran Airlines' fleet includes Douglas DC-3, Douglas DC-4 and Viscount aircraft.
History was founded in 1946, and a group of businessmen established Iran Airlines in the name of establishing Iran First Airlines. The business covers domestic regional passenger and freight services, as well as weekly freight services to Europe. The fleet includes DC-3, DC-4 passenger planes and a few Viscount planes. 1954 established Persian aviation service of a private airline, which initially operated only cargo services, followed by passenger services between major cities in Iran. 1960, Persian Airlines began to increase some European destinations, including Geneva, Paris, Brussels and London, which were operated by DC-7C passenger planes.
On February 24th, 1962, Iran Airlines and PAS merged to form Iran National Airlines, which is called Iran Airlines. This is a joint venture in the public sector. The planes used are DC-3, DC-6 and Viscount Vexcor. 1964 became a member of the International Air Transport Association.
In the golden age of 1965, iran air received the first jet plane, Boeing 727- 100, followed by Boeing 737 at 197 1, and began to receive three types of Boeing 747 (747) at 1974. By the mid-1970s, European flights were provided (London alone had more than 30 flights per week).
19721018 October, Iran Airlines plans to order two Concorde supersonic passenger planes from Britain. This order was cancelled after the Iranian revolution in April 1980.
On May 29th, 1975, iran air opened a flight from Teheran to new york, using Boeing 707, with a stopover at London Heathrow Airport. Shortly thereafter, this route was changed to a direct flight using Boeing 747SP. With this flight, Iranian Airlines set a new world record for direct flights, with long-distance flight 12 hours, 15 minutes and 9867 km -(5328 nautical miles). 1978, Airbus was awarded the contract for six A300B2k aircraft to be used in iran air's domestic trunk lines and busy feeder routes. By the end of the year, Iranian Airlines had reached 365,438+0 international destinations from new york to Beijing and Tokyo. The plan to fly to Los Angeles and Sydney by using 747SP is described in detail.
By the end of 1970, Iran Airlines was one of the fastest growing airlines with rich profits. 1976, iran air is second only to Australia. As the safest airline in the world, it has flown safely 10 years.
After the Iranian revolution, the Iranian revolution broke out in February 1979, and Iranian Airlines began to reorganize its international business and stopped all international destinations. Tehran is designated as the only official gateway airport, and Shiraz can be used as a backup. All other Iranian cities have lost their international status. However, in recent years, airports in many major cities in Iran have regained their international status. These airports have flights to other major cities in Iran and other countries in the region.

During the Iran-Iraq war, domestic and international flights of Iranian Airlines were often cancelled and abnormally delayed. This situation continued until the cease-fire agreement came into effect in August 1988.
1990, six Fokker 100 aircraft joined the fleet. In 200 1 year, the company acquired six second-hand Airbus A3 10 aircraft, because the blockade plan of the US authorities cancelled the purchase of any new Airbus A330 aircraft. In 2005, Airbus A300-600 was purchased from Olympic Airlines. With the increasingly tense situation, the United States and Iran refused to provide spare parts to update the Iranian passenger aircraft fleet. However, a new agreement was reached, and the United States allowed Iranian Airlines to update its fleet. At present, iran air belongs to * * *, with 7,500 employees.
