Overview
Sepehran Airlines, also marketed as flysepehran, is an Iranian airline headquartered in Mashhad. The carrier was established in 2016 with the stated purpose of providing passenger, cargo, and freight services, and began formal flight operations in 2018 with two aircraft. Its principal operating bases are Mashhad International Airport, Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran, and Tehran Mehrabad Airport. The airline has developed around a Boeing 737 narrow-body fleet serving domestic and international routes. According to the available reference material, Sepehran became the operator of the largest Boeing 737 fleet among Iranian airlines, with each aircraft configured to carry approximately 132 passengers. Its network is centered on Iran, while its fleet is also used for selected international services. The airline's operating model combines scheduled passenger transportation with supporting aviation capabilities, including catering, engineering, maintenance, and pilot or aviation training activities. Sepehran's early development included the creation of an in-house catering department and an engineering and maintenance department in 2018. In the same year, it received an Approved Training Organization certificate from Iran's Civil Aviation Organization. This certification enabled the company to operate an aviation training center and represented an expansion beyond the basic role of an air carrier. The airline also established the RedMiles loyalty club during the 2019–2020 period. Fleet growth has been the clearest indicator of the company's expansion. The fleet increased from two aircraft at the start of operations in 2018 to three by 2020, four in 2021, six in 2022, nine in 2023, and twelve in 2024. The referenced fleet history identifies the individual aircraft additions by registration, including EP-FSA, EP-FSK, EP-FSU, EP-FSV, EP-FSG, EP-FSL, EP-FSF, EP-FSE, EP-FST, and EP-FSQ. The reported workforce also expanded from approximately 350 employees in 2018 to 401 in 2021, 535 in 2022, 820 in 2023, and 1,002 in 2024, although the reference material does not provide independent financial or ownership information. Sepehran presents itself as a growing Iranian airline with an integrated aviation-services profile. Its main customer proposition is air transportation using Boeing 737 aircraft, supported by multiple Tehran and Mashhad bases, loyalty-program benefits, and internal operational and training infrastructure. Publicly available material in the supplied references provides limited information about its ownership, executive leadership, financial performance, legal structure, and detailed route schedule. The airline's current status is therefore best described as active, with further corporate details requiring verification from authoritative company or Iranian aviation sources.
History
Sepehran Airlines was established in Iran in 2016 to provide passenger, cargo, and freight transportation. The airline's first operating phase began in 2018, when it launched services with two aircraft identified by the registrations EP-FSB and EP-FSI. That year was also important institutionally: the company introduced its flysepehran catering department, created an engineering and maintenance department, and obtained an Approved Training Organization certificate from the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran. The airline reported a workforce of approximately 350 employees at this stage. During 2019 and 2020, Sepehran added EP-FSA, bringing its fleet to three aircraft. It also launched RedMiles, a customer loyalty club intended to support repeat travel and customer retention. The workforce was reported at 339 employees during the pandemic period, reflecting the operational pressures affecting aviation businesses at the time. The company resumed a period of fleet expansion in 2021, adding EP-FSK and reaching four aircraft. Its reported workforce rose to 401 employees. In 2022, the addition of EP-FSU and EP-FSV increased the fleet to six aircraft, while the workforce reached 535. These additions strengthened the airline's ability to operate a broader schedule from its Mashhad and Tehran bases. Expansion accelerated in 2023, when EP-FSG, EP-FSL, and EP-FSF joined the fleet. The total reached nine aircraft and the reported workforce increased to 820 employees. In 2024, Sepehran added EP-FSE, EP-FST, and EP-FSQ, bringing the stated fleet total to twelve Boeing 737 aircraft and the workforce to 1,002 employees. The available material describes these aircraft as carrying approximately 132 passengers each and serving both domestic and international routes. The airline's principal hubs are Mashhad International Airport, Imam Khomeini International Airport, and Tehran Mehrabad Airport. This combination gives Sepehran access to Iran's major eastern urban center and the country's principal Tehran-area airports. Alongside passenger flying, the company maintains activities in catering, engineering and maintenance, cargo and freight, and aviation education. Its ATO certification has allowed it to operate as an aviation training center in Iran. The supplied reference also states that Sepehran was the first airline to restart flights after a war, reopening a route on July 1, 2026. Because that event is dated in the future relative to much of the supplied historical record and no separate source is provided, it should be treated as a reported reference claim requiring verification before being used as an established historical fact. More broadly, public information available in the supplied materials does not establish the airline's ownership, detailed financial position, executive roster, or complete current route map.
