Abstract

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.
