Iranian plane seized in Turkey over debt
A Boeing 737 operated by the Iranian company "Kaspyan Aviation" was detained at Istanbul Airport due to unpaid debts amounting to approximately 3 million euros, according to Anadolu Agency. This occurred after lawyers and enforcement officers arrived to execute a court ruling to seize the aircraft, which was preparing to departure to Iran. The action disrupted the flight and led to the return of passengers and crew to the airport terminal. This incident comes amid increasing financial pressures on Iranian airlines as a result of U.S. sanctions imposed on them, which limit their ability to access aircraft, spare parts, and international financial services. The number of international flights departing from Tehran Airport has significantly decreased following the implementation of these sanctions. Iran is currently facing allegations from international organizations regarding the impact of these sanctions on the Iranian civil aviation sector.
