Planes
Boeing 737-300/400/500, McDonnell Douglas MD-82/83; 13 aircraft in July 2026. Average age not published; all types are 25 years old or more.
Resumed Turkey routes (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir) from Tehran, Tabriz and Urmia on 24 Oct 2026. Mostly charter; confirm schedule before buying.
Scores
- On time
- No per-airline Caspian figure appeared in the official reports we could verify. Its Turkey flights are mostly charters, which are cancelled or retimed more often than scheduled services.
- Aircraft and comfort
- Eight Boeing 737 Classics (300/400/500) and five MD-82/83s in July 2026. Runway excursions at Mahshahr (2020) and Isfahan (2022) caused injuries but no deaths; the 2009 Tu-154 crash killed 168.
- Baggage allowance
- Alibaba lists 30 kg checked plus a 5 kg cabin bag; excess is 1% of the fare per kilo.
- Service and food
- Single-class 737s and MDs with a simple snack; no business cabin. No independent rating.
- Changes and refunds
- System fares follow the national penalty table shown at purchase, but most Caspian international seats are charter, refunded only through the seller and often not at all.
What is good
- Resumed Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir from Tehran, Tabriz and Urmia on 24 October 2026
- Cheapest way into Istanbul right now
What is not
- Mostly charter: schedules change and refunds are hard
- Old 737 Classics and MDs
Tips
- Confirm the flight the day before and keep the seller's phone number
- Do not buy a separate onward ticket from Istanbul with a short gap
