Hello!
I have not flown this route or airline myself, but my friend has agreed for it to be published and reported to me via email, as there is nothing on Taban Air on flight-report so far.
This ticket was booked a day in advance and cost 160k Tomans (40€).
Qeshm Airport
Access to airport 7/10
- access via highway, airport taxis existing, busses unknown
Check-In 8/10
- fast, uncomplicated, 20 kilo luggage allowance, paper boarding pass, felt like a supermarket receipt
Access to the plane 8/10
- plane was parked approx. 75 meters from the Terminal, passengers walked by foot (under the watch by members of the IRGC)
Services 7/10
- small amount of shops, one coffeeshop and restaurant, police station, luggage wrapping station, double luggage screening (once before entering the terminal, second before reaching the check-in counters
cleanliness 3/10
- condition of the mens restroom was poor: dirty, broken doors and locks, felt (and smelled) like a portable toilet
The plane was an MD83.
Cabin 5/10
- the cabinfloor was clean, but the inside of the storage place for safety instruction, airsickness bag and magazin hasn’t been cleaned, lots of paper, plastic and pistachio shell trash
Crew 4/10
- the crew did their jobs, not a lot of smiles were shared, “pleases” (hier Befarmoiids) were mumbled, the english announcements were in a proper english, but very quiet and hard to understand; food was served 10 minutes after the seatbelt signs turned off, trash was collected after 25 minutes
Entertainment 3/10
- not existent, at least at my seat, no magazine was offered; newspaper in Farsi were aviable; positive: children were offered a wooden puzzle they got to keep after landing for free
Food 3/10
- Sandwich with chicken-olivieh salad (edible, not a great taste, quite mouth drying), a pack of ananas juice and cookies with chocolate filling; additional glass of water was offered.
The pitch was reported to be very tight.
Flight was on time and smooth but the plane got a little shaky at landing.
Isfahan Airport
- Luggage arrived after 20-25 minutes which is very long considering the small size of the airport.
Glad to see Maddogs and other eccentric planes finding a second life in Iran, I can't wait to go there myself.
Thank you for sharing this short and exotic report!!!

Interesting and exotic both the report and the airline!!! Thanks for sharing!!
All the essentials are in your friend's terse narrative.
Thanks to you and your friend for sharing this report - it is unusual to have a story on an airline which was not in the database prior to posting !
