Sepahan Airlines (Template:Lang-fa) was an airline based in Isfahan, Iran. The company is an internal division of the manufacturer Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA) and operated a fleet of 6 HESA-assembled Antonov An-140 turboprop aircraft.[1]
Following the 10 August 2014 crash, the entire IrAn-140 fleet in Iran was grounded, pending the outcome of the investigation,[2] ultimately leading to the indefinite cessation of all Sepahan Airlines operations as it owned no other type of aircraft.
