"Relying on the power of domestic experts, we were recently able to conduct the
overhaul (C-check) of the first Airbus delivered to Iran in the JCPOA era after
numerous flights, which took around 11 days,” Sharafbafi said Sunday on the
sidelines of an international exhibition on transportation.
C-Check is an inspection of a large majority of the aircraft's components that
is done every 20-24 months.
Asked about the US sanctions against Iran and reports that some countries refuse
to refuel Iranian aircraft due to the sanctions, the aviation official said Iran
Air does not have any problems in providing fuel for its aircraft in foreign
flights.
On May 8, the US president pulled his country out of the JCPOA, the nuclear deal
that was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of negotiations among Iran and
the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).
Following the US exit, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the
accord.
Trump on August 6 signed an executive order re-imposing many sanctions on Iran,
three months after pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.
He said the US policy is to levy "maximum economic pressure” on the country.
The second batch of the US sanctions against the Islamic Republic took effect on
November 4.
