Flysepehran has launched its first-ever scheduled flight on the Mashhad–Istanbul route, providing passengers, tourists and business travelers in northeastern Iran with more convenient access to Türkiye.
The launch of Flysepehran’s Mashhad–Istanbul flight in September 2026 is part of the airline’s efforts to expand air connectivity between Iran and Türkiye and respond to the growing travel demand in the region. The new international route provides a direct connection between Mashhad and Istanbul and is expected to contribute to stronger tourism, cultural and economic ties between the two destinations
The launch of this new international air route makes travel to Istanbul significantly more convenient for tourists and travelers from Mashhad. Previously, passengers traveling from Mashhad to Istanbul often had to spend additional time and money traveling to cities such as Tehran before continuing their journey via Imam Khomeini International Airport.
With the introduction of this route, passengers can now depart directly from Mashhad International Airport for Istanbul without the need for intercity ground transportation or additional airport transfers.
This direct air link can play an important role in facilitating passenger movement and supporting the development of cultural, tourism and economic exchanges between the two destinations.
Flysepehran’s entry into the Mashhad–Istanbul international route gives Iranian travelers another option when planning their journey between the two cities. Previously, a significant share of passengers on this route relied on foreign airlines, with international airfares often subject to foreign-currency costs.
The presence of a domestic Iranian carrier on the route provides passengers with an additional choice and can contribute to a more competitive range of travel options and fares.
