Tehran: Iran Air’s hangar serves as a critical facility where aircraft are subjected to both light and heavy periodic checks, a process that can extend over weeks or even months. This extensive maintenance is crucial to ensure that the aircraft are properly prepared for safe operation and return to the flight cycle.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the maintenance experts at Iran Air are operating under challenging conditions due to sanctions. These sanctions have introduced technical limitations and constraints in the supply of spare parts. Despite these difficulties, the maintenance teams adhere to safety standards and engineering protocols to ensure the aircraft are fit for service.
