TEHRAN, March 4 - Director of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization Public Relations Reza Jafar-Zadeh said black box of ATR plane crashed in central Iran has been founded.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - He said the black box would be given to the Civil Aviation Organization for further investigation to discover reason of the plane crash exactly.
Mid February, an Iranian ATR 72 passenger plane crashed in central Iran during a flight from Tehran to the southwestern city of Yasuj, which claimed the lives of 66 people, has once again brought into the limelight the issue of unilateral US sanctions and their deleterious effect on Iran's transportation sector, especially the country’s civil aviation fleet.
Experts believe that US administration’s staunch opposition to the sale of new planes to Iran is the main factor to blame for dilapidation of Iranian air fleet, which has so far led to bloody incidents, taking a high toll on Iranian civilians.
