Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 10
By Fatih Karimov - Trend:
The Kazakh flight check planes continue calibration of Iranian airports, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported Feb. 10.
Iran bought a Falcon King Air-350 flight check plane from Denmark three months ago, which is used for airport calibration, however the Kazakh aircraft are still carrying out the task across the country.
Earlier, Pakistani planes were used for flight inspection of airports across Iran. After the agreement with Pakistan expired, Iran signed a new agreement with Kazakhstan, which is still in force.
"Iran has started training pilots for the use of the recently imported flight check plane," Ahmad Momeni Rokh, an official with Iran Airports Company (IAC), told Tasnim news agency Feb. 10.
In 2014, a Dassault Falcon 20E flight check aircraft, operated by the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization, crashed off the coast of Kish Island in Persian Gulf, claiming the lives of all four people on board.
