TEHRAN - In a message to Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), the Minister of Transport and Urban Development Mehrdad Bazrpash praised the performance of the organization and stressed the need to follow CAO’s four-fold strategy for developing the country’s aviation industry.

“The Civil Aviation Organization, as the main policy-making body in the country's aviation industry, played an effective role during the 33 months of the 13th government administration and these policies should be continued,” Bazrpash said in his message.

He emphasized his full support for CAO’s four approved strategies and stated: “These strategies are seriously put on the agenda and should be followed with detailed planning.”

The minister also emphasized that the modernization and development of the aviation fleet, along with safety, with the aim of improving services to people and supporting knowledge-based companies in the industry, should also be prioritized and pursued seriously.
