History
The airline was established in 1993 and commenced operations in September 1993. It was set up as a joint venture between Iranian and Russian interests.
Caspian Airlines no longer has any Tupolev aircraft; today it operates mainly McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft.
Caspian Airlines finished building its headquarters in 1993. Later this tower was exchanged with three Tupolev-154s from Mahan Air.

Accidents and incidents
- On 15 July 2009, Caspian Airlines Flight 7908, a Tupolev Tu-154M, traveling from Tehran to Yerevan crashed near the Iranian town of Qazvin, killing all 168 people (153 passengers, 15 crew) on board.[5][6]

- On April 12, 2021, a Caspian Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-83 performing Flight 6984 from Tehran to Kish rose above its assigned altitude due to an autopilot malfunction. As a result, a Qatar Airways Airbus A350 operating Flight 739, en route from Doha to Los Angeles received a traffic collision avoidance system alert and performed an evasive climb. The Aviation Herald claimed the Qatar jet produced automated warnings about its speed and an impending stall, something Qatar Airways denied. Both aircraft continued to their destinations and landed safely.[8]
- On January 5, 2022, Caspian Airlines Flight 6904, a Boeing 737-400 (registration EP-CAP) veered off the runway during landing at Isfahan International Airport following a collapse of the left main landing gear, injuring five of the 116 people on board.[9]
