Iran Air
Iranian Airways was first established in May 1944 and commenced its first passenger flight right after the World War II from Tehran to holy city of Mashhad. Within a period of 17 years (1945-1962) this airline developed into a major domestic Route with a few international flights per week. In 1954 another private airline as "Pars Airways" was established. Initially "Pars Airways" only undertook freight services to Europe.
In 1961 Iranian Airways" and Pars Airways merged to form a new airline as IranAir with the acronyms and the symbol of the HOMA bird and this new airline commenced its activities in April 1962.
Today Iran Air is the flag carrier airline of Iran, based in Tehran and operating services to 20 scheduled and 5 charter destinations.
