Iran complains to ICAO about plane fuel ban

Iran has lodged a complaint with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) over certain countries' refusal to supply fuel to Iranian passenger planes.

Deputy Head of Iran Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) for International Affairs Morteza Dehqan told the Islamic republic news agency on Sunday that the ICAO president has been informed about the issue.

Dehqan referred to some problems in the system for fueling Iranian planes, saying that unfortunately the US sanctions on Iran aviation system is against all international regulations and the US humanitarian slogans.

The sanctions target Iranian people who use air transportation, he said, adding that these measures are aimed at disconnecting Iranians from other countries.

In spite of holding consultations, unfortunately the fueling problem still exists, Dehqan said.
