While smoking is largely prohibited on most commercial airlines worldwide, a few international carriers still permit it in designated sections. Here's a breakdown of which airlines currently allow smoking:
Based on available information, the following airlines still allow smoking on certain flights or in specific sections:
| Airline | Details |
|---|---|
| Air Algeria | Allows smoking in certain areas of their flights. |
| Cubana | Has designated smoking sections on some routes. |
| Iran Air | Permits smoking in specific areas of certain aircraft. |
It's important to note that:
- The practice of allowing smoking on airlines is increasingly rare due to health concerns and passenger preferences.
- Even on airlines that permit smoking, it is typically restricted to specific sections of the aircraft, usually towards the rear.
- Smoking policies can change frequently; it's always best to confirm directly with the airline before your flight if you are unsure.
The prevalence of smoking signage on domestic airliners today is a carryover from the days when smoking was more common on flights, even though it is no longer permitted on most. Many airlines still have these signs present, despite the fact that the practice is largely banned, simply due to older planes and legacy design.
