Aseman Airlines is almost the first airline in the country that was able to circumvent the western sanctions and 4 Boeing 727-200 aircraft of the former Air France Airlines entered the country in 1994.
SC arrived in Iran through a European intermediary company with her three sisters, born in 1980 when they were 14 years old; The company’s first successful attempt to circumvent sanctions and launch the Sky Boeing 727 Aircraft Development Program, which was suitable for connecting local airports with limited facilities and relatively short runways, benefited the company.
The plane was used as a part warehouse in Mehrabad after grounding in 2011 due to technical problems, etc., and was finally transferred to Lavasan several months ago for use as an air restaurant.
1832 Boeing 727s were produced between 1963 and 1984, the last passenger aircraft belonging to Aseman, although some cargo or VIPs still serve.
The presence of a door in the tail section, which reduced the airport costs of this aircraft, as well as the lower take-off and landing speed (compared to other aircraft of that time) caused the high proficiency of Boeing 727 to fly local and small airports and connect them to large cities and international airports.
