The longing to visit the holy sites of Iraq has now become more accessible for the people of Azerbaijan, thanks to a new direct air link. flysepehran has launched, for the first time, a non-stop flight service from Tabriz to Najaf, allowing pilgrims from northwestern Iran to travel directly to the holy city of Najaf without the need for lengthy overland journeys or multiple connections in Tehran.
The route was introduced to Flysepehran’s flight schedule for the first time in September 2026, marking a new gateway for the airline’s growing network of pilgrimage destinations from northwestern Iran.
Flysepehran aims to gradually expand its flight network and provide passengers in more cities across Iran with direct access to Iraq’s major pilgrimage destinations.
As new routes are introduced, passengers from major cities and key population centers will be able to choose a shorter and more convenient journey to Najaf and Karbala, eliminating the need for long-distance ground transportation or indirect flights.
This strategy not only improves air connectivity for pilgrims, but can also strengthen the role of pilgrimage services within Flysepehran’s overall network and support the development of an integrated domestic-to-international pilgrimage route network across different regions of Iran.
The launch of this air service from Tabriz Shahid Madani International Airport reduces additional intercity transportation costs and significantly minimizes travel fatigue, particularly for elderly passengers and families.
Through fleet development and structured flight scheduling, Flysepehran is providing pilgrims in the region with a more convenient, comfortable and cost-effective travel option.
Pilgrims and passengers planning to visit the holy sites of Iraq can check available **flight dates and schedules** and purchase their tickets online at competitive fares through the official flysepehran website:
