Both are part of Iran's increased efforts to play a role in the international market.\u003cbr/\u003eThe drone is called Ababil-3, or Swallow-3, which is able to fly for eight hours non-stop with a range of 250 kilometres (about 155 miles) and altitude of 12-thousand feet according to Iran's armed forces and drone industry technicians. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Today most of our products have a great potential for export. We have some fully indigenous products such as our helicopters that have very good potential to be exported. Our drones are also the same regarding export quality. In avionics systems and plane parts we do have remarkable possibilities. However, the shadow of sanctions has been over this industry for many years, but it has managed to pull itself together,\" says Sourena Sattari, the Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology.\u003cbr/\u003eThe history of Iranian air transportation and airline industry goes back to 1923. The first aircrafts were acquired by the then government from Germany and deployed for the newly established Iranian Air force.\u003cbr/\u003eIran and the US cut all diplomatic and economic ties following the takeover of American embassy in Tehran in 1979 and tensions between the two countries escalated. In 1995 international aviation companies were banned by the US from selling aircraft and repair parts to Iranian airlines for fear that they may be used for military purposes.\u003cbr/\u003eOver the past 20 years, the embargo has made Iranian airlines one of the oldest fleets in the world, which has been hit with a series of deadly crashes.\u003cbr/\u003eA report released in 2005 by the International Civil Aviation Organisation stated that the US sanctions had endangered the safety of civil aviation in Iran and that since aviation safety affects human rights and human lives it should stand above political differences.\u003cbr/\u003eUnder the grip of sanctions, Iran has turned to Russian or Ukrainian manufacturers to attempted to kick start its commercial aviation industry.\u003cbr/\u003eThe licenses for spare parts were made possible under a temporary nuclear deal struck November 2013 between Iran and six world powers. Under it, Tehran is to halt some aspects of its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of some sanctions - including restrictions on sale of commercial plane parts and services to Iran.\u003cbr/\u003eAmerican aircraft-manufacturing giant Boeing has also ended a 35-year break in business with Iran, supplying the country's national flag carrier with a cargo of aircraft-related items.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In previous shows we merely wanted to hold an exhibition and hence, the displayed products had neither local nor foreign customers or had a limited number of customers. However, this year our approach has changed and our intent was to bring products that allow us to enter the international markets or attract international company's cooperation. In fact we can say that we have shifted from holding exhibitions to using the exhibitions for more international participation and to facilitate export,\" says Manouchehr Manteghi, Managing-Director of the Iranian Aviation Industries Organisation. \u003cbr/\u003eIran's Civil Aviation Organisation estimates that the country will need at least 100 new aircrafts for its fleet.\u003cbr/\u003eAlireza Jahangirian is the Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development Minister and Iran's Civil Aviation Chief.\u003cbr/\u003eHe acknowledges that sanctions have been a major hindrance in Iran's aviation development, disabling it to meet the increasing demand of the industry.\u003cbr/\u003eThe insecure airspace of some regional countries, as a result of terrorist group activities in Iraq and Syria, has made Iran a relatively safe route for foreign carriers.\u003cbr/\u003eMany global aircraft carriers such as British Airlines and Air France have gradually changed their air routes and no longer fly over Iraq.\u003cbr/\u003e\"During the past two months, the number of foreign planes that have passed through our airspace has increased from 450 flights a day to more than 900 flights a day; in other words it has doubled. While many western countries use our safe airspace, they still refuse to provide our planes with services and facilities in their own countries. Despite all these problems, our air transportation industry continues its path of development and this exhibition is an example of these efforts and our seriousness,\" says Jahangirian. \u003cbr/\u003eOver the first seven months of the current Iranian year (starting on March 21, 2014), 28 million and 569-thousand passengers have been received in 66 airports across the country that shows a 24-percent rise compared to a year earlier.\u003cbr/\u003eOver the same period, 1581 domestic and foreign aircrafts have reached their destinations using Iran's services.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are 92 airways above the country and their total length reaches 59,000 kilometres (36,660 miles).\u003cbr/\u003eThe figures given by an official from Iran's Aviation Industries Organisation also show that seven American airliners use Iran's airways and Iranian navigation services.\u003cbr/\u003eIran and the six-nation group - the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany - are currently negotiating a comprehensive, permanent deal that could lift all sanctions on Iran while removing any possibility for Tehran to develop a nuclear weapon.\u003cbr/\u003e100 Iranian governmental and private companies and 20 foreign countries have reportedly attended the exhibition that will continue until November 21.\u003cbr/\u003eHorizons clients and AP Lifestyle, Health and Technology clients Only / NO IRAN/NO BBC PERSIAN/NO VOA PERSIAN/NO MANOTO 1 \u003cbr/\u003e++AP Television is adhering to Iranian law that stipulates all media are banned from providing BBC Persian, VOA Persian or Manoto 1 any coverage from Iran, and under this law if any media violate this ban the Iranian authorities can immediately shut down that organisation in Tehran.++\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eKish Island, Iran, 18th November 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
