Tehran, March 30, IRNA – Head of Iran Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), Ali-Reza Jahangirian, said on Sunday that some 14 new planes have joined the Iranian aviation fleet in the past two months.
Addressing a group of managers, he said purchase of the planes was not included in the accord, signed with the G5+1, but the group was obliged to remove barriers on imports of spare parts.

Iran has ordered purchase of plane parts through legal channels but no parts have been imported to the country by this time, he said.

The western companies claim that export of plane parts is subject to permission of the US Treasury Department, he said.

The CAO is to import new planes to revitalize its dilapidated planes, he said.
