Secretary of Iranian Airlines Association Maqsoud Asa'adi Samani said the 8th International Aviation Exhibition will be held in November.

"The 8th International Aviation Exhibition will be held on Kish Island on November 17-20," Asa'adi Samani told reporters in Tehran on Sunday.

Noting that the biennial exhibition is the first major event after the removal of sanctions against the aviation industry, he said the biggest international aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus and spare parts companies will be in attendance.

"The 8th exhibition will be the biggest industrial event in Iran after the nuclear deal (with the world powers)," Asa'adi Samani said.

Tehran has become a hot destination for foreign delegations, jockeying for position in the lucrative new market opening for business. The nuclear agreement explicitly prioritizes the sale of commercial passenger aircraft and related parts and services to Iran, with Airbus and Boeing are poised to rebuild the fleet and secure an enormous payday.

Iran Civil Aviation Organization acts as a policy maker and coordinator to promote an indigenous Iranian aeronautical industry by providing and assisting the aircraft industries with needed technologies, knowledge and parts.
