Tehran, Accra Sign Deal on Air Transport Cooperation

EghtesadOnline: According to a bylaw approved by the Iranian Cabinet of Ministers to present the license for negotiating with Ghana in line with developing the air transport relations between the two countries, a high-level Ghanaian delegation, headed by the director general of the Ghanaian Ministry of Transport, traveled to Iran to discuss broadening the mutual relations in this field, the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) said.

Accordingly, the CAO embarked on the provision of a draft of the bilateral agreement in the air transport field and creation of a legal framework for the establishment of direct flights between the two countries, IRNA reported.

Earlier, the head of the CAO said that negotiations had been held between Iran and 20 countries on the development of air transportation cooperation on the sidelines of the 15th ICAO Air Services Negotiation Event (ICAN2023).

Despite the economic war the US and its allies have waged against Iran over the years, the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization has so far stood on its own feet in the field of repair and maintenance, design and construction of planes using the technical know-how and experience of knowledge-based companies, he stated. / Tasnim
