Meraj Air (MRJ, Tehran Mehrabad) vice president Iraj Ronaghi says the airline has drawn up plans to bolster its domestic operations through the opening of two new bases to supplement existing ones at Tehran Imam Khomeini and Tehran Mehrabad.
Meraj Air intends to open up more routes to leisure destinations such as the islands of the Persian Gulf, he told the CAPA Iran Aviation Summit 2016.
Though it operates an aged fleet of two A300-600s, three A320-200s, one A321-200, one A340-300 (VIP), two B707-300s, and one B737-200Adv, Ronaghi said the airline hoped to acquire an unspecified number of regional jets in order to add another 2000 seats in the next two to three years, then another 1000 seats over the next five-year period.
