Iran Aseman, which started its operations in 1980, has Tehran Mehrabad Airport as its main base and recognizes Shiraz, Isfahan, Mashhad, and Tehran Imam Khomeini airports as important hubs in its flight network.

In 2017, Iran Aseman signed a contract to receive 30 Boeing B737 Max aircraft, but with the return of US sanctions, none of these planes were delivered, although given the current status of the B737 Max, it is probably better that this order was not executed.

One point is that Iran Aseman was the last regular operator of the Boeing B727 in passenger flights and stopped operations with this model in 2019. Over the years, the company has tried to offer a variety of domestic and international flights and, with a mixed fleet of small and large passenger aircraft, has played an important role in transporting passengers within the country.

Currently, the company's fleet consists of only 9 aircraft, and due to tensions and the current conditions prevailing in Iran's aviation industry, most of them are grounded. The fleet is as follows:
A320
A340-300
Boeing 737-400
Fokker 100

Given the old age of the aircraft and the current situation, there are no regular flights for now, and the fleet is mostly waiting for better conditions and the lifting of restrictions. Also, due to the high age of the aircraft, maintenance and repair costs have increased, directly affecting the company's flight schedule.
Iran Aseman has not yet announced any plan to replace or renew its old fleet, and the company's focus is mainly on maintaining current services and managing limited operations.
On the other hand, returning to an active and modern fleet requires heavy investment and the lifting of sanctions.
In any case, this current situation is not only a serious challenge for Aseman but all airlines are involved in this situation and solve their problems in various ways, so all future flights depend on changes in political and economic conditions.
