Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s airspace is the safest in the region for international flights, a member of board of management of Iran Airports and Air Navigation Company has announced.

Hadi Yousef-pour Azari made the remarks to reject Pakistan’s claim that two Pakistani airlines were near to collide in Iran’s airspace.

Pakistan’s report on the issue was in contradiction to International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) regulations, the official tweeted.

Pakistan has claimed that two airlines of that country were to collide when they were on Iran’s airspace; and they claimed the reason as human error by Iranian air traffic controllers.

 Yousef-pour Azari rejected the claim and highlighted the effort made by air traffic controllers which has turned Iran's airspace as the safest in the region.
