Amir Hossein Zol-Anvari, the manager of the Mahan public relations office, told IRNA on Sunday.
The plane was sold to a Venezuelan company a year ago, the official noted.
Detention of the plane whose ownership has been transferred a year ago follows political aims, he added.
He concluded that the crew have been working for the Venezuelan company and the issue does not relate to Mahan Air.
