With the start of the corona virus from the city of Wuhan in China and its spread among other nations, a gray era began in the world. This crisis permeated all businesses and industries, including the airline industry. After the announcement of the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 21, 2020 regarding the epidemic of this virus, physical distancing was recognized as the best way to deal with the spread of this disease. Hereupon, the demand for transportation decreased to a significant amount and the airline companies all over the world entered an economic recession. An analysis published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) states that the crisis has reduced revenue generated from passengers for the world's airlines by 55% (equivalent to $314 billion) in the year of the outbreak. Similar surveys in other countries have also shown a decrease in travel demand and by examining various companies, researchers have recognized methods such as using technologies to reduce the need for physical contact in airports, the policy of removing the middle seat, etc., to be effective. They have also encouraged the governments to support the airline industries. In this article, the performance of Iranian airlines in domestic flights in the years 2016 to 2021 is examined and using the extracted results, a comparison between the years including covid-19 and other years is made. Due to the homogenization of the passenger, cargo and mail variables for comparison, indicators have been defined by dividing each variable by the number of flights. The result of this comparison shows a decrease of more than 20% in the passenger index from 2019 to 2020 and an increasing trend in cargo and mail indexes in these years, which can be due to people's eagerness for online shopping in this era compared to in-person shopping.

Transportation in the field of postal delivery is of great importance, and various types of vehicles and methods are used to send postal items to different destinations. Among these, air transportation is one of the fastest and most efficient methods for sending postal items globally. Airplanes, with their high speed and access to remote locations, make it possible to send postal items to distant destinations. In this study, the performance of the country's airline organization in the transportation of postal items on domestic flights, flights from within the country to abroad, and flights from abroad to the country over a decade has been examined and analyzed. This analysis was conducted using data extracted from the statistical yearbooks of the national airline organization, which allowed for the creation of charts and trendlines based on them. The results of this analysis show that the transportation of postal items on domestic flights in Iran has had a decreasing trend over the past decade. On the other hand, the transportation of postal items on flights from abroad to Iran has shown an increasing trend. Additionally, the transportation of postal items on flights from within Iran to abroad has had a relatively constant trend. Finally, the discussion will conclude with an assessment of the issues and a summary of the findings from this decade-long performance.
