Caspian Airlines

Here is comprehensive information about Caspian Airlines (ICAO: CPN):

Caspian Airlines is an Iranian airline headquartered in Tehran, Iran. Established in 1993 as a joint venture between Iranian and Russian interests, the airline commenced operations in September of the same year. Its primary operational base is Mehrabad International Airport (THR) in Tehran, and it also utilizes Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) as a hub.

The airline's fleet primarily comprises McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft and Boeing 737s. While early operations included Russian-built Yakovlev Yak-42 trijets and Tupolev aircraft, these have largely been phased out, though some sources still mention Tupolev 154M aircraft in the fleet. The fleet size is typically cited as around 10 to 12 aircraft, with an average age reported to be over 30 years or around 26 years as of February 2021.

Caspian Airlines operates an extensive network of scheduled domestic flights connecting Tehran to various major cities across Iran. Its international routes extend to destinations in countries such as Turkey, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Armenia, Syria, Ukraine, and Hungary. The airline does not hold membership in any of the major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. It became a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 2005. Caspian Airlines offers standard (economy) seating, sometimes referred to as "Business Class" in an all-coach configuration, providing catering services with a variety of hot and cold meals.
