Several Iranian aviation news sites are reporting that Mahan Air has been able to successfully acquire Boeing B777-200ERs and that the aircraft have arrived in the country in the recent weeks.
According to the sites, the airline has secured five former NokScoot B777-200ERs, which have been acquired through UDAAN Aviation in Madagascar. All five aircraft were positioned to Siem Raep in Cambodia on 4 July 2025 and left with destination unknown on 15 July 2025.
Now we know they have surfaced in Iran. The sites are also reporting that five more B777-200ERs are to follow soon.
The five aircraft currently involved, and which are still on the register in Madagascar are:
5R-HER (28522), which is former 9V-SRG of Singapore Airlines and HS-XBB of NokScoot
5R-IJA (28527), which is former 9V-SRJ and HS-XBD
5R-ISA (30866), former 9V-SRH and HS-XBC.
5R-RIJ (33369), former 9V-SRP and HS-XBF.
5R-RIS (32334), former 9V-SRL and HS-XBE.
Using third countries and operators to procure new aircraft is a common way for Iran to circumvent the sanctions imposed on the country. We have reported several times on aircraft that suddenly popped-up with Iranian carriers.
