IRAN AIR BOEING 747-100 / EP-JAM

GEMINI JETS 400 / 1:400 / GJIRA2305

Founded as Iranian Airways in 1944, the airline was nationalized in 1961 and merged with Persian Air Services to form Iran Air (also known as Homa). Buoyed by the country’s oil wealth, the airline became one of the most dynamic, luxurious, and safe in the world. It offered historic direct flights (notably to New York with the Boeing 747SP) and even considered adding the Concorde to its fleet for a time. The Islamic Revolution and geopolitical tensions with the United States led to sanctions. These sanctions deprived the airline of spare parts and new aircraft, forcing it to diversify its fleet (Airbus, Fokker) and to be resourceful in keeping its planes airworthy.

The Boeing 747-100 EP-JAM was delivered new to Iran Air by the American manufacturer on August 2, 1979. Unlike the very first 747-100s, which had only three small windows on each side of the upper deck, the version ordered by Iran Air featured a ten-window configuration, a space originally designed for VIP lounges before being converted into a premium cabin. Powered by older Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines, the EP-JAM made its final flight (a 10-minute commemorative flight) in August 2021 at Tehran Airport, marking the end of the 747-100’s global service.
