According to a CAO.IRI statement issued after the signing ceremony, the cooperation agreement will see the IAA avail their Iranian counterparts technical expertise and assistance in the areas of flight operations management, airworthiness, and aircraft MRO. Once ratified, it will also simplify the means by which Iranian carriers can lease aircraft from Irish lessors by improving Iran's air safety oversight procedures.

CAO.IRI director, Reza Jafarzadeh, said Iran Aseman Airlines would be one of the country's first airlines to benefit from the deal whose specific details were not disclosed.
