Iranian Airways ’57

Iranian Airways

Iranian Airways was founded in May 1944 by Reza Afshar and Gholam Ebtehaj. Between 1945 and 1962, the airline became a major domestic carrier, also operating some international flights.

 

The first commercial flight was from Tehran to Mashad.

 

Iranian Airways was nationalized in 1961. In 1957 they were operating a fleet of Douglas C-47/Dakota, Convair CV-240 and Douglas DC-4 aircraft. These flights used the DC-3 and the DC-4.

 

The flights below came from the October ’57 timetable from www.timetableimages.com .
