Iran
The vast majority of international flights into the Islamic Republic of Iran arrive in Tehran. Tehran has two international airports, the old Mehrabad International Airport and new Imam Khomeini International Airport. As of late 2007, all international flights except those to/from Medina, Jeddah and Damascus fly into IKA. Iran Air is the national government-owned airline. Iran Air is the largest among a growing roster of domestic airlines and boasts an extensive network of flights, covering most provincial capitals. Other airlines include Iran Aseman, Mahan Air – which fly the most routes - while Caspian Airlines, Kish Air and Taban Air are smaller carriers.
The Iran Civil Aviation Organisation is the regulatory authority responsible for the Iranian aviation industry, while also providing air navigation services.

Asia's first time flyers the big winners as Paris Air Show PR juggernaut winds down
The major beneficiaries of this week’s frenetic (public relations) activity just outside Paris live half a world away. They are Asia’s emerging travellers – the millions that have never stepped inside an aircraft, but for whom air travel is becoming attainable. That opportunity took a major step forward as Asian carriers – many of whom the world had never heard of a decade or even five years ago – stepped up in front of the world’s media to order narrowbodies for the mass markets they see blossoming at home.

European and Middle East carriers fighting for market share on Europe-Middle East route
European carriers are becoming increasingly concerned by the Middle East airline threat on their core international businesses. CEOs from British Airways, Air France and Lufthansa have all voiced their opinions lately, as Middle East airlines continue to expand their global networks. But the European flag carriers are not standing idly by. Several are rapidly expanding their presence in the Middle East, to maintain and/or grow their share of this promising market. Emirates is the clear market leader, with a 21.0% share of capacity on Middle East-Europe routes. Qatar Airways is the second largest, with 8.7%, while Lufthansa, British Airways and Air France have just 5.6%, 3.5% and 2.7% shares, respectively.
