Book Kish Air flights on Laters.com with buy now, pay later from Afterpay, Akulaku and more, with no hidden fees. Borrow responsibly.
Edited by Adinda Irawan
Yes. You can book Kish Air on Laters.com, choose a pay-later plan inside the checkout, and get your e-ticket straight away. It works on every route Kish Air flies and on every fare class. You decide on the plan at the payment screen, so there is nothing to arrange before you search.
Paying later is a payment method at the Laters.com checkout, not something Kish Air has to switch on, which is why it works on every route we ticket. Search the route, choose a provider on the payment screen, pick a plan, and the e-ticket arrives as soon as payment is approved. Which plans you see is set by the country you book from, not the airline you fly, and checkout shows only plans your fare qualifies for.
An instalment plan leaves the fare alone, and the baggage allowance, and the seat, and what your fare class earns in Kish Air's loyalty programme. You fly as Kish Air's own passenger on its own fare rules; only the paying is spread. Interest-free plans run a soft eligibility check that does not affect your credit score. Interest-bearing monthly financing runs a full credit check. Approval is never guaranteed on either. Borrow only what you can repay.
Split the fare on Kish Air flights at the Laters.com checkout with the pay-later providers for Middle East + Africa. Plans and approval depend on the provider and your booking; Laters.com charges no booking fees or payment surcharges.
Pay in 3, interest-free, across South Africa.
This is a calculator, not a brochure. Set a Kish Air fare and each plan shape below prices itself against it. Which shapes you see depends on the provider and your market. The interest-bearing shape needs a full credit check, so read the terms before booking.
$780
Suits a regional economy fare. Offered through Affirm Stripe or Afterpay. Carries no interest; a first instalment leaves at checkout, three more follow. The provider sets late fees.
Suits a long-haul or premium-cabin fare that short plans can't stretch to. Through Affirm Stripe, Afterpay or Akulaku. Carries interest, needs a full credit check; provider sets late fees.
Suits a smaller fare you can clear in one later payment. Through AFTEE. Nothing leaves at checkout. Interest isn't stated here, so check AFTEE's terms for fees and credit checks.
Kish Air is paid in full at booking, you repay the provider on your chosen plan, and the e-ticket is issued straight away. The same short instalment shape trades under different names by provider and market, so your offer may not carry the name used here.
Illustrative only. The figures above are computed from the fare you set: plain division for the interest-free plans, and each plan's own illustrative rate over its stated term for monthly financing. They are not an offer, a quote, or a prediction of what you will be given. Laters.com is not the lender and takes no part in the decision: which plans appear, the instalment amounts, any interest and fees, and whether you are eligible at all are determined by the provider alone, and depend on a credit or eligibility assessment, your country and your basket. The only way to see your real plans is to choose a provider at checkout, at which point that provider, not Laters.com, approves or declines the purchase. All plans, rates, fees and terms are estimates only and subject to approval and to change.
Booking direct with the airline is a reasonable choice if you want to pay by card in one go. What the airline's own checkout does not give you is one search across every airline we sell, or a choice of pay-later plans such as Affirm Stripe, AFTEE, Afterpay and Akulaku at the same checkout. It is the same Kish Air ticket, issued on the airline's own fare rules, with the same baggage allowance, seat selection and loyalty earning. Pay later is credit, so borrow only what you can repay.

Our editorial rating, out of 10, for what an airline is actually like to fly once you have booked it.
Every airline we ticket is scored on the same 4 measures, so you can compare them like for like before you book. See the full methodology See all airline scores →
Scored by the Laters.com editorial team from the airline’s own published specifications and named third-party measurements. No airline pays to be rated, no placement is sold, and this page contains no affiliate links.
Kish Air scores 4.0 out of 10: the plain average of the measures below, rounded to one decimal. Each measure is an editorial assessment of the published facts.
4 measures, scored the same way for every airline we ticket.
Reliability & operations5/10
Kish Air flies nine aircraft across four types: 2 Airbus A321, 1 Fokker 100, 4 MD-82 and 2 MD-83. An aircraft swap can change the cabin you get. No on-time percentage from a named measurement body is published, and that gap holds this measure at 5.
Comfort & experience3/10
AirlineRatings scores Kish Airlines 2/7 for Product, and no seat pitch or width is confirmed. The Airbus A321 has 28 business and 142 economy seats, while the Fokker 100 and MD-83 are economy only. Meals, Wi-Fi and entertainment are unconfirmed, so check what is included before you travel.
Value & network4/10
No baggage allowance, fee list or frequent-flyer programme is confirmed for Kish Air, so check bag rules before paying. Kish, Mashhad and Tehran Mehrabad are listed hubs, with Istanbul, Dubai and Muscat among international points as of September 2023. The missing allowance and fee detail holds this at 4.
Professional airline rating4/10
AirlineRatings gives Kish Airlines 5/7 for Safety but 2/7 for Product. No star rating out of 5 and no named award is confirmed. In practice that is a middling safety mark beside a weak product mark. The 2/7 Product score is what holds this measure at 4.

Baggage, fees, miles, refunds and eligibility
Everything about booking Kish Air flights on Laters.com and splitting the fare, plus the airline’s own rules that decide what you get.
Yes. Kish Air (Y9) flights can be booked on Laters.com with four pay-later providers at checkout: Affirm Stripe, AFTEE, Afterpay and Akulaku, in that order. Laters works on every route and fare class, and the e-ticket is delivered instantly after the provider approves you. Pay later is credit, so approval is not guaranteed.
The provider you choose (Affirm Stripe, AFTEE, Afterpay or Akulaku) makes the approval decision, not Kish Air, which has operated since 1990. Each provider sets its own checks, so read its terms before you confirm. If you are declined, Laters has other ways to pay at checkout.
Your repayment agreement is with the pay-later provider, so its terms decide what happens, which can include late fees or limits on future use. Laters does not publish fee amounts for Kish Air bookings. Only borrow what you can repay, because the instalments are due even if your plans for the Kish Air flight change.
Kish Air's own refund terms are not confirmed here, so check the fare rules shown when you book. A refund for a cancelled flight goes back through the original booking, and you should contact the pay-later provider to see how remaining instalments are adjusted. Kish Air serves 27 destinations, so if your route is cancelled, ask about rebooking as well as a refund.
Kish Air's carry-on and checked baggage allowances are not confirmed, so Laters does not quote one. Check the allowance shown for your fare before you pay. Excessive baggage charges are among the top complaints in a sample of 100 passenger reviews, so confirm it in advance.
Kish Air's online, app and airport check-in times are not confirmed. Its website, kishairlines.ir, showed only a short landing message pointing passengers to ticket purchase and flight search. Use the times on your booking confirmation, and arrive early at your departure airport, whether that is Kish, Mashhad or Tehran Mehrabad.
Compare the plans that Affirm Stripe, AFTEE, Afterpay and Akulaku show at checkout, and pick the one with repayments you can cover from your budget. Kish Air flies international routes such as Istanbul, Dubai, Muscat, Almaty and Dushanbe as well as domestic ones, and a longer international trip usually means a bigger total to spread. Laters does not state plan limits or fees for Kish Air, so read each provider's terms first.
Availability depends on your billing country and on which of the four providers (Affirm Stripe, AFTEE, Afterpay, Akulaku) accepts you, not on Kish Air itself. The checkout shows only the options open to you. Kish Air is based on Kish Island, Iran, but Laters has no country list for each provider here.
Any effect comes from the provider's terms and reporting practice, not from Kish Air. Laters does not state whether Affirm Stripe, AFTEE, Afterpay or Akulaku reports to credit agencies. Missed or late repayments can hurt your credit, so check the provider's policy before you commit.
No. The code Y9 was previously used by Lynx Air, a Canadian low-cost airline that ceased operations in 2024. Kish Air is the Iranian carrier founded on 16 December 1989 and based on Kish Island. Check the airline name on your booking, not only the code.
Kish Air lists 27 destinations and three hubs: Kish International, Mashhad Shahid Hasheminejad International and Tehran Mehrabad International. CAPA names Tehran Mehrabad as the main hub. Listed points include Abadan, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, Najaf, Aktau, Almaty, Muscat, Dushanbe, Istanbul and Dubai, and flights to Dushanbe began in March 2025.
Kish Air has 9 aircraft: 2 Airbus A321, 1 Fokker 100, 4 McDonnell Douglas MD-82 and 2 MD-83. Only the A321 has a business cabin, with 28 business and 142 economy seats. The Fokker 100 seats 100 in economy and the MD-83 seats 156 in economy, so the aircraft on your route decides whether business is on offer.
AirlineRatings scores Kish Airlines 5/7 for Safety and 2/7 for Product. In a sample of 100 passenger reviews, 18% recommended the airline, and top complaints were excessive baggage charges, rude staff, and cancellations and delays. Weigh this before you take on a repayment plan for a flight.
Laters adds no hidden booking fees to Kish Air tickets, and it compares prices from several providers in one search. Kish Air's own charges, such as seat selection and excess baggage, are not confirmed here. The pay-later provider's terms govern any interest or late fees on your instalments.
Kish Air (IATA Y9) is an Iranian airline based on Kish Island and owned by the Kish Free Zone Organization. It was the first private company to receive an air operator certificate from Civil Aviation of Iran. AirlineRatings scores it five out of seven for safety and two out of seven for product, so the onboard experience is the weaker side.
Sources list Kish, Mashhad and Tehran Mehrabad as hubs, and CAPA names Tehran Mehrabad as the main one. It flies Iranian domestic routes and international points such as Istanbul, Dubai, Muscat, Almaty, Dushanbe, Aktau and Najaf. No alliance or loyalty programme is confirmed, so this page says nothing about either.
Paying later changes how you pay, not what you buy. The fare is the same as paying by card. The baggage allowance is the one your fare carries, any loyalty earning is what the fare class earns, and the ticket is issued on Kish Air's own rules. You fly as Kish Air's passenger and simply spread the cost. Baggage and check-in details were not confirmed for this page, so read them on the fare before you pay.
Paying later is credit. The provider decides approval, and a missed instalment has consequences with that provider, which may include a late fee. Split a fare only if you can repay it on schedule.
Kish Air runs a mixed fleet drawn from three manufacturers: Airbus, Fokker and McDonnell Douglas. It is not a single-type operator. The McDonnell Douglas MD-82 is the most numerous type, with MD-83s alongside it, and the rest is a pair of Airbus A321s and one Fokker 100. The A321 is the only type confirmed with a business cabin. No type is confirmed as a long-haul aircraft, and the routes we can name, from Iranian cities to Istanbul, Dubai, Muscat and Central Asian points, are regional. The stats panel carries the counts. These are the types in service when the facts were confirmed, and deliveries and retirements change them. Punctuality, cancellation rate and fleet age are left out on purpose, because no sourced field carries them and we would rather show nothing than an estimate.
