Scores
- On time
- No per-airline Kish Air figure appeared in the official reports we could verify; the airline is in the third tier by volume. Middle score pending data.
- Aircraft and comfort
- Two A321s with a 28-seat business cabin, one Fokker 100 and six MD-82/83s in July 2026. The MDs are subject to the CAO's September 2026 ticket-sales ban unless the engine directive is done.

- Service and food
- Business seats on the A321; standard snack service elsewhere. No independent rating.
- Changes and refunds
- Alibaba publishes Kish Air's system-fare table: standard classes lose 20% up to 24 hours before and 40% within 24 hours; restricted classes lose 25% and 50%. Charter seats are refunded only through the seller.
What is good
- Clear published penalty table
- A321 on the Kish and Mashhad trunk routes
What is not
- Most of the fleet is MD-80 series
- Fokker 50 crash at Sharjah in 2004 is the airline's worst event
Tips
- Ask which aircraft type is scheduled; the A321 is far more comfortable than the MD
