Iran Air, officially known as The Airline of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Persian: هواپیمایی جمهوری اسلامی ایران, romanized: Havāpeymāyi-ye Jomhuri-ye Eslāmiye Irān), or before known as The National Airline of Iran (Persian: هواپیمایی ملی ایران, romanized: Havāpeymāyi-ye Melli-ye Irān), is the flag carrier of Iran, which is headquartered at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran. As of 2024, it operates scheduled services to 72 destinations in Asia and Europe. Iran Air's main bases are Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad International Airport, both serving Tehran, the capital of Iran. Domestically, Iran Air is commonly known as Homa (Persian: هما), which is the name of a mythical Persian phoenix or griffin, and also the acronym of Iran National Airlines in the Persian language. The airline's cargo division, Iran Air Cargo, operates scheduled services internationally using one cargo aircraft.
The airline has been sanctioned in 2024 by the United States and the European Union for its role in the provision of Iranian weaponry to Russia during the Russia-Ukraine war.
