Rafiei added that if the negotiations were successful, the association could ask for more planes.
The head of the association said that if foreign airlines using Iranian airspace land in the country and operate domestic flights on the way, this would solve the problem of shortage of aircraft and reduce the cost of tickets.
Seeing that Iran needs such flights, the number of foreign airlines operating in the country is increasing.
