Iran is now self-sufficient in supplying airplane spare parts, and there is almost no need to send airplanes to foreign countries for any kind of repair, an official told Mehr News Agency.

Regarding commercial and passenger airplanes, Iran used to be highly dependent on the purchase of airplane parts from foreigners and the sanctions imposed on the country caused a challenge in this regard, Deputy of the Scientific Department of Knowledge-based Economy Development Javad Mashayekh said in an interview for Mehr News Agency.

After the imposition of sanctions against Iran, some of the Iranian knowledge-based companies tried to produce homegrown car spare parts and repair and maintain aircraft engines.

Saying that there is no longer a need to not send planes to foreign countries for repairs and maintenance, he added that even some countries, which were also sanctioned for various reasons and are unable to supply spare parts and maintenance services, come to Iran and seek help from Iranian specialists.

For example, Russia has faced many sanctions in the aviation sector due to the crisis in Ukraine, and for this reason, it has concluded favorable contracts for maintenance services with Iranian knowledge-based companies, Mashayekh stressed.

This shows that domestic knowledge-based companies have progressed to the extent that some empowered countries seek to cooperate with Iranian knowledge-based companies, he concluded.

Back in May 2023, Iranian industrial specialists tested an airplane engine with great success which was made of domestically-made parts. In honor of International Workers’ Day, President Ebrahim Raisi visited the Iranian energy and infrastructure company MAPNA.

The power component and engine management system of the airplane were put to the test during the visit by the specialists of MAPNA, renowned as the largest Iranian contractor for steam, gas, combined cycle, and renewable power plants.

The reverse engineering process was used by the domestic experts at MAPNA to completely develop and produce the engine and its control system.

The president also went to a display of technical advances in a number of industries, including water industry, oil and gas production, train transportation, aircraft engines, and the production of renewable and thermal energy.

The president also saw the exhibition’s high-tech F-class Iranian gas turbine and the domestic MAP 24 locomotive.Raisi also went to the MAP24 locomotive, a product made by the MAPNA Group’s experts.

During his visit, the president emphasized the need of satisfying the country’s locomotive needs with a focus on local manufacture, as well as utilizing the capability of this company’s locomotive training center. —Tehran Times
