Mahan Air plane damaged in US strike ahead of humanitarian mission to India: Iranian officials

Business To Business, New Delhi, 31 March 2026: A United States airstrike at Mashhad International Airport on Monday reportedly damaged an aircraft operated by Mahan Air, potentially disrupting a planned humanitarian mission to New Delhi, Iranian officials said.
According to the officials, the aircraft was scheduled to fly to New Delhi later this week to collect essential medical supplies and humanitarian aid for people in Iran.
The reported strike has raised concerns over the safety of civilian and aid-related aviation operations in conflict zones, particularly as the mission was linked to ongoing humanitarian coordination between India and Iran.
However, officials from the United States have not yet confirmed or corroborated the claim, leaving key details about the incident unclear.
