[Persian Gulf]

Iranian aerospace companies aim to become suppliers of spare parts for planes in seven years time, says a senior Iranian high-tech official.

“With this trend we hope that in the next seven years we could manufacture airplane parts and even supply (them) to other countries to match the position of European countries ...” Manteqi told the IRNA agency.

The official said Iranian companies had already managed to manufacture “a bulk of” airliner parts whose supply to Iran has been restricted due to the American sanctions.

He said the achievement puts Iran in the ranks of few countries in the world who have mastered the knowledge to manufacture replacement parts for planes.
