Planes
Airbus A220-300, Boeing 737-800, 737 MAX 8, 787-8; about 24 to 29 aircraft, average age roughly 10 years (AACO 2024 data).
Najaf-Tehran daily from 8 Oct 2026; Mashhad and Isfahan also announced.
Scores
- On time
- No published on-time data. The Najaf-Tehran route was cut for several days in October 2026 and schedules change often, so scored low on reliability.
- Aircraft and comfort
- Young on paper per AACO 2024 data: five A220-300 (3.4 years), six 737 MAX (2.9), two 787 (2.5) and sixteen 737-800 (11.9). Cabin standards vary by aircraft.
- Baggage allowance
- Typically 30 kg in economy with a 10 kg cabin bag, but guides report 20 to 25 kg on some routes and promotional fares; the ticket is the only reliable source.
- Service and food
- Basic service on short Najaf flights; no independent rating. Scored low on consistency.
- Changes and refunds
- Refund rules were not published in the sources we read; tickets sold through Iranian agencies follow the agency's terms. Low confidence.
What is good
- Daily Najaf-Tehran since 8 October 2026; Mashhad and Isfahan announced
- Sold by Iranian agencies in toman
What is not
- Schedule cut for days in October 2026
- Few onward options to Europe from Najaf
Tips
- Confirm the flight the day before
- Useful for Istanbul, Dubai and Doha connections, not Europe
