TABNAK, Feb 15: “The Russian airline Aeroflot has recently sent one of its aircraft to Iran for repair and maintenance, and the job got done. It came within the framework of our cooperation with the Civil Aviation Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

“According to Aeroflot's assessment, capabilities of Iranian companies in maintaining and airworthiness conditions has been excellent and satisfactory,” Yardov said.

“Given this brilliant result, I am sure that Russian companies will continue this process of cooperation with Iranian companies, because this need exists in our country.”

“We have recently signed a cooperation document with the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran, and accordingly, we are waiting to receive applications from relevant Iranian companies and design offices through the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran so that the process of reviewing and issuing licenses for their activities in Russia can be followed up.”

Since 2021, there has been another agreement between the two countries, following which three Iranian aviation companies have obtained some necessary approvals and licenses to provide services in the field of maintaining the conditions and airworthiness of Russian aircraft.
