Aseman Airlines fleet drops from 24 to three, staff unpaid for months

May 6, 2026, 03:37 GMT+1

A source with long experience at Iran’s Aseman Airlines told Iran International that the carrier’s fleet has shrunk from 24 aircraft to just three, one of which is often grounded.

The source said the remaining planes suffer from serious technical issues, while frequent management changes have added to operational instability. Employees have also gone months without pay, the source added.
