Despite planning to retire the type a year ago and operating enthusiast flights, Iran Air still continues to fly the world’s last passenger-carrying Boeing 747SP aircraft.
The stubby ‘Special Performance’ variant is one of the rarer passenger aircraft still flying. So I thought I’d look at the schedules it is operating, in case you want to grab a flight before it’s too late.

At present the 747SP still appears on some services beyond 25th October, when the winter timetable starts. So it may be flying for a while yet!
