ICAO Aviation Dispute
Iran Files Formal U.N. Complaint Over U.S. Restrictions On Airlines
Anonymous
Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization has filed a formal protest with the U.N.’s International Civil Aviation Organization over U.S. restrictions on Iranian airlines, calling them illegal and saying they infringe on the aviation industry’s rights. Its chief, Abouzar Shiroudi, said Iran is coordinating with the Foreign Ministry and pursuing legal and diplomatic channels to restore routes that were previously operating. The complaint follows U.S. measures targeting Iranian airlines and aviation services; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that carriers could lose access to services such as fuel and ground handling. Iran has used connecting flights through regional hubs, including Istanbul, as an alternative to some suspended direct routes.
