Blir spennede å se hvordan dette vil gå, blir Mahan Air bannet fra ''all'' vestlig luftrom?

The chairman of the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization (IrCAO), Alireza Jahangirian, has warned that Iran will take legal measures should the United States act on threats to block Mahan Air (W5, Tehran Mehrabad) from operating its recently acquired fleet of Airbus Industrie (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) aircraft abroad.

The Iranian carrier sourced an ex-Sichuan Airlines (3U, Chengdu) A321-200 in addition to a variety of ex-Virgin Atlantic (VS, London Heathrow) metal including seven A340-600s and one A340-300 through its Al-Naser Airlines (NR, Baghdad) proxy in Iraq last month in contravention of international sanctions. The US Government claims Mahan Air works with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) to ferry operatives, weapons, and funds in support of the Asad regime on its flights to Syria, and also provides transportation services to Lebanese Hizbollah, which has been separately designated as a terrorist group.
