CAO Denies Sourcing Russian Airliners
TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) has denied reports that the country planned to furnish its fleet with passenger planes from Russia after the removal of sanctions.
The rebuttal came after a Moscow-based news agency quoted CAO caretaker Mohammad Khodakarami as saying that Iran wanted to purchase Russian airliners and sought negotiations with the country’s aircraft manufacturers for delivery of spare parts and other equipment.
