History

The company has been an internal division of the manufacturer Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company and operated a fleet of 6 HESA-assembled Antonov An-140 turboprop aircraft. Following the 10 August 2014 crash, the entire IrAn-140 fleet in Iran was grounded, pending the outcome of the investigation, ultimately leading to the indefinite cessation of all Sepahan Airlines operations as it owned no other type of aircraft.
