IranAir Chief Hands in Resignation

Alireza Barkhor, the CEO of IranAir, has submitted his resignation to Minister of Roads and Urban Development Rostam Qasemi. 
Referring to the array of problems facing Iran’s flag carrier airline over the past decade and its failure to meet the needs of employees, the official said he intends to leave his post after the return of Arbaeen pilgrims’ flights from Iraq.  
The government had decided earlier this year to cancel plans to privatize IranAir, IRIB News reported.
