Plans Devised to Renovate Iran’s Airports

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran has formulated plans to modernize its airports with the assistance of Russia and China, an official said.

"Projects will be for the next 20-25 years, because existing airports will meet the needs of the industry for the next 15 years, but in the long run we need a number of world class international airports," Managing Director of Iran’s Airports Company (IAC) Siavash Amirmokri said.

Pointing to Iran's stepped-up cooperation with Russia and China, he said detailed information in this regard will be released in due time after technical and specialized discussions are completed.

"Given our interactions with China and Russia, the plan is to build new airports in accordance with the needs of the country in some regions," he added, Press TV reported.

The official cited Ardabil airport in northwest Iran which lies on the crossroads of Eastern Europe and South Caucasus near the border with the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Relying on knowledge-based companies, Iran has provided most of the equipment needed in its airports from domestic production in recent years, he said.
