Sepehran Airlines (Persian: هواپیمایی سپهران, Hevapimaii-ye Sepehran) is an Iranian airline headquartered in Mashhad.

History

Sepehran Airlines acquired its first aircraft, a Boeing 737-500, by April 2015; it planned to begin flights later that year.[6] However, Iranian civil aviation authorities were concerned about the fleet's age, and therefore denied the airline's initial application for an air operator's certificate.[7]
