Delays in Domestic Flights Surveyed

Domestic flights operated in the fourth month of the current Iranian year (June 22-July 22) were delayed by an average of 98 minutes, data released by Iran Airports Company show.
Around 33% flights were delayed during the period: The longest average delay in flights was registered by Kish Air with 136 minutes and the shortest by Mahan Air with 53 minutes.
Technical issues are said to be the main cause of the long delays, as Iran’s aviation sector has for years been facing US sanctions that prevented it from procuring vital spare parts for repair.
Reports of technical problems and mishaps during flights have also been on the rise due to the same reasons.
