Planes
Boeing 737-400, McDonnell Douglas MD-82/88; 5 to 7 aircraft in 2026. Average age not published; all types are over 25 years old.
Scores
- On time
- 56% of flights late in the Khordad 1401 report, second worst that month.
- Aircraft and comfort
- One 737-400 and four MD-82/88 in July 2026 (Alibaba counts seven including an A310 and a BAe). A Tu-154 crash-landed at Mashhad in 2010 with no deaths. The MDs fall under the September 2026 sales ban unless compliant.
- Baggage allowance
- 20 kg checked plus a 5 kg cabin bag; excess costs 1.5% of the fare per kilo, higher than most Iranian carriers.
- Service and food
- Economy only, simple snack, mostly charter and pilgrimage flights. No independent rating.
- Changes and refunds
- Penalty depends on fare class and hours before departure per the national table; a large share of Taban seats are charter and refundable only through the seller.
What is good
- Cheap Mashhad and pilgrimage charters
What is not
- Tiny, old, MD-heavy fleet
- Second-worst delay rate in the last national report
- Higher excess-baggage charge
Tips
- Weigh your bag at home; the 1.5% excess rate adds up fast
