TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Head of Aviation Organization said that Iran and the United States will cooperate to repair the engines of Iran’s troubled Airbus passenger plane fleet in the near future.

Speaking to FNA’s economic desk, Nourollah Rezayee Niaraki described the US decision for repairing Iran’s planes as a positive move, and stated, “Given the fact that a number of the Airbus 310s of Iran’s navigation fleet are in need of engine repairs, we will take the required measures to start cooperation with the US aviation organization to fix them.”
