The Civil Aviation Organization of Islamic Republic of Iran[2] (CAO.IRI), (Persian: سازمان هواپیمایی کشوری جمهوری اسلامی ایران[3] ) is Iran's civil aviation agency. It is the statutory corporation which oversees and regulates all aspects of civil aviation in Iran. The organization was established in July 1946 and its headquartered at Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran.[3] It investigates aviation accidents and incidents in Iran.[4]
Personnel
The head of the accident investigation board until 3 July 2020 was Hassan Rezaeifar, who was summarily terminated on that day because he hd contacted a PS752 victim's husband who is a PhD student in Canada in the hope that he might exert pressure to have the husband delete Instagram posts which are critical of the Khamenei regime.[5] Ralph Goodale said the phone call constituted "outrageous behaviour", while Global Affairs Canada wrote that "interference with Canadian citizens is totally unacceptable, very troubling and won't be tolerated. The government of Canada denounces any and all attempts to coerce or pressure Canadians, especially those suffering the loss of a loved one."[5]
