Hi all,
This report was long over due but I finally found the time to post it here :)
You can see my FR below about my flight from Tehran to Dubai. It has many cool pix of Tehran plus a full photo coverage of Tehran's International Airport(IKA):

Now about this FR:
I went to the beautiful and my most favorite city in Iran Shiraz for a quick visit and got some pictures and am sharing them here with you. I could not take pictures of the Tehran's Mehrabad main terminal as I was in a hurry.
As you may know, Tehran's Mehrabad Airport was the one used for both Int'l flights and domestic ones operating from separate terminals but since the Int'l airport moved to another location (IKA) the former Int'l terminal is used for all Iran Air flights but as I was traveling with Aseman I had to go through the all time domestic terminal.
Enjoy :)

THR-SYZ
Departure Time: 9:05
Iran Aseman Airlines- Fokker 100
Duration: 1 hour
These days all int'l tickets in Iran are electronic- most of domestic ones are electronic too but I got lucky and they issued me a paper ticket for Aseman but for Iran Air it was an electronic one, which is the normal print out that you take to the airport with you.
Paper Ticket

Got the boarding pass

We were bussed to the plane

Wonderful report Thank you very much !!
Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing this FR
Gorgeous aerial views
Thank you :)
Great report. I was wondering, why seperate entrance in the terminal for women ands men? Is it one of the famous 747SP os Iran air on your pictures?
Thanks Matt, good eye, yes that's one of Iran Air SPs :)
Thanks for this nice FR.
Is Iran Aseman a part of Iran Air? On some planes they use the same font for their logo.
A pretty decent service on a domestic flight, and of course great aerial views.
Thanks KL651, no Aseman is a separate company for itself :)
Thanks for sharing this exotic FR (at least for a South American)!
The catering was good for 1 hour flight. Although I don't like oranges, it was a natural touch :P
Few questions...
What does Aseman mean?
What about the ad on the seats backrests (2 cows)?
Could you say air transport is popular, or getting popular in Iran? I mean, affordable for most Iranians?
Thanks for your answers
Hi Avionero. Very good questions:
- Aseman means Sky in the Persian language
- The ad with 2 cows is an ad for an Iranian Dairy products company
- Air transportation is and has always been very popular in Iran. Despite the high prices of tickets for people still people try to fly everywhere. So all flights are most of the times fully booked and on high demand.
