http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airlines_of_Iran Iran has several private and public airline companies in operation.
The oldest is Iran Air.
Most of the fleet of Iranian airlines today consist of old Boeings and used or leased Airbus and Russian manufactured aircraft such as Tupolevs. Sanctions from the United States prevents Iran from purchasing most new western made aircraft to update its rapidly aging fleet. This has resulted in a series of ongoing disasters and incidents.
Iran has however initiated manufacturing aircraft on its own such as the IR.AN-140.
