According to Saednews, Mohammad Amirani, CEO of the Airports and Air Navigation Company, visited Tabriz Airport to inspect the damages caused by the recent Zionist regime attack on the airport’s airside areas. During his visit, he met and held talks with Bahram Sarmast, the governor of East Azerbaijan Province.
The CEO stated that due to the damage inflicted on the transportation infrastructure of East Azerbaijan, especially the airside areas of Shahid Madani International Airport in Tabriz during the recent Zionist regime aggression against Iran, and given the importance of the Azerbaijan region and the resilience of its brave people, the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development has tasked them to promptly assess the damages and begin reconstruction operations.
Regarding the status of Shahid Madani International Airport in Tabriz, he said: In the recent unjust attack by the child-killing regime, both runways of Tabriz Airport were damaged, and reconstruction work started immediately after the ceasefire was announced.
