Iran becomes self-sufficient in repairing plane engines

Karaj, IRNA – Iran has become self-sufficient in repairing plane engines and parts as the country faces restrictions to buy new aircraft and repair their parts due to Western sanctions.

The achievement was made by scientists and experts at MAPNA Group, a leading holding company active in various areas of business from rail transportation and power plant projects to the aviation industry.

Mehdi Akbarifard, a MAPNA expert, said on Saturday that he and his colleagues have managed to repair both the engines and their parts of the airplanes of the country’s air fleet, especially on CFM56 engines which are installed on Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 airliners.

He told reporters on the sidelines of the Payam Aviation Industry Exhibition, held in Alborz Province, that their company also plans to produce engine parts for airplanes.

According to Akbarifard, their first and foremost mission is to increase the durability of the country’s air passenger fleet through renovating engine parts which he said will undergo various tests to examine their safety and flight performance based on international standards.

He also said that the Iranian experts have made the achievement amid restrictions to repair plane parts and engines due to Western sanctions.
