Iran has long been sanctioned by the United States (and before 2015 by the Europeans and other countries). This has cut Iran off from official channels to purchase new commercial aircraft and forced Iran to scavenge on the black market for components to keep its aging fleet of passenger aircraft flying. So what aircraft is Iran’s flag carrier, Iran Air, operating, and what are its scheduled flights for 2025? While Iran possesses a functional commercial airline industry, it is likely far below the country’s current requirements. It is also incredibly inefficient, forcing the government to prop it up with subsidies (e.g., aviation fuel costs 10 cents per liter).

Boeing ended production of its iconic 747 at the beginning of 2023. While this marked the end of a significant chapter in aviation history, the aircraft type continues to fly for many carriers around the world. Sadly, it was the pandemic that really impacted 747 fleets as commercial passenger airlines used the global health crisis as an opportunity to retire their aging jumbo jet fleets.But it’s late 2025 now and, according to aircraft data websites, there are still over 300 still active these days. Fewer and fewer of these quadjets are for passengers and are instead used to transport freight – however, there are still SOME airlines out there that use the jet to move us humans across the globe.
