Hossein Pourfarzaneh said on Tuesday that Iran had\u00a0executed a nine-year plan to localize the production of the engine parts of those two aircraft models.<\/p>\n
Pourfarzaneh said Iranian engineering company Mapna had contributed to the government-sponsored program to manufacture jet engine parts, the website of the Iranian English-Language Press TV reported.<\/p>\n
He said the program was mainly a result of efforts to offset the impacts of foreign sanctions on Iran\u2019s civil aviation sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on this (program) and through cooperation with Mapna, the reverse engineering and localization process of (manufacturing) engine parts of Boeing and Airbus airplanes was put into operation inside the country,\u201d the official was quoted as saying by the Tasnim news agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, Iran has obtained the technology to manufacture critical parts of the aviation industry,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Iran came under an inclusive regime of American sanctions in 2018 after Washington unilaterally withdrew from an international deal on Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n
However, experts say the US sanctions have failed to reach their ultimate objective of forcing Iran into political and military concessions. They insist the bans have even created an opportunity for Iran to diversify its economy and to rely more on its domestic resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reports in the past had pointed to Iran\u2019s success in keeping its aviation fleet afloat despite the sanctions that ban the country\u2019s access to foreign technology and spare parts.<\/p>\n
The country has even provided aircraft maintenance services to foreign airlines with a\u00a0report\u00a0by Reuters news agency in April last year showing that Russia\u2019s largest airline Aeroflot had sent one of its Western-made jets to Iran for repair.<\/p>\n
