Mohammad Eslami, referring to the widespread propaganda of the enemies to show the insecurity of the Iranian sky for transit flights, said: “Our enemies, especially the United States, tried with all their real and unreal power with intimidation and psychological operations to create a condition which results in the reduction of transit flights over Iran sky.
The Minister of Roads and Urban Development added: “On the other hand, we tried to offer a number of privileges and discounts to the airlines by taking the necessary measures and obtaining the necessary legal permits.
He continued: “With incentive packages to airlines, we were able to gradually disrupt the Americans’ plans for transit flights over Iran to some extent. ”
The Minister of Roads and Urban Development announced the comprehensive and more accurate continuation of this policy in 1400 and added: “We hope to do strong competitive work in the field of aviation by presenting incentive packages. ”
Eslami said: “We have tried to compensate part of the damages caused to the country’s airspace by the adoption of incentive policies.”
According to the statistics announced by Iran Airports and Air Navigation Company, in the first 7 months of Iranian last year, a total of 52,119 flights were registered over Iran, and in the same period of 1398, this number reached 184,958, indicating a 71.8% decrease of transit flights during this period.
