Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Overhauls Aircraft Engines

“One of our notable achievements is the know-how to indigenize aircraft engine overhaul,” said Amin Qiyasi, the deputy managing director of the Engineering and Maintenance department of the knowledge-based company.

“Our services prevent 40 aircraft from being grounded annually by providing the necessary engine overhaul services which is a very significant number,” he added.

“Our focus is on repairing the engines of the Boeing 737 Classic family of aircraft which includes the 300, 400, and 500 models,” Qiyasi said.

“We have not only carried out overhaul operations, but also reverse-engineered and manufactured several specialized devices, and we are now in the exploitation phase,” he underlined.

Relevant reports said in April that another knowledge-based company in Iran had also been able to receive an international license for repairing 200 aircraft parts.

“We were able to obtain a license from the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran and start the company's activities by focusing on repairing aircraft parts,” Behrouz Minayee, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.

Noting that the Iranian companies which have a license can repair aircraft parts, he said, “We also have an international license for repairing these parts.”

Noting that all countries under the supervision of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) can benefit from the services of the knowledge-based company, Minayee said, “Overhauling each part requires a separate license, and in this company we have a license for 200 parts.”

“Recently, our company was also able to make a device that acts as a bridge between parts and a display that makes the part's information visible,” he added.
