Dec. 20--TEHRAN, Iran. -- Iran has sent the engines of 14 airplanes to foreign countries in order to be repaired.
Iranian Minister of Road and Urban Development Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi said that 7 engines have been fixed and returned, Iran's Fars news agency reported on Dec. 20.
The Iranian minister further stressed that the country's civil air fleet should be renewed.
"We also need to launch a transportation network between Tehran's airports.
Akhoundi said on August 31 that the country plans to increase the number of its air fleet to 500 planes.
Head of Iran Civil Aviation Organization Alireza Jahangirian said on October 14 that the country needs at least 300 active airplanes.
"We currently have less than 150 active planes," he said.
He went on to note that Iran currently owns 20 international airports.
Jahangirian previously said that most of Iran's current aircraft would be out of service by Iranian calendar year of 1404 (2025) so the country needs to annually add 30 aircraft to its fleet.
"That would annually cost at least $1 billion for Iran's aviation industry," he noted.

Iran inaugurated the cell therapy and regenerative medicine center affiliated to the country's Red Crescent Society in a ceremony attended by Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Affairs Sorena Sattari.
"Stem cells are of great importance for the future. If we want to describe the modern medicine, we should say that one of its important bases is stem cell," he said.
He also said scientific projects take 10-15 years to turn into trade products.
In 2013, Iran hosted an international congress on stem cell and biomedicine attended by representatives of major medical research groups mostly from China, India, Italy and US and Iran have taken part in the two-day event and was organized by Iran's Royan institute.
The congress aimed to bring together the researchers and practitioners from all over the world in stem cells and reproductive biomedicine to stimulate and promote research in this area.
Stem cell research is one of the most promising research areas in modern biomedicine. However, due to moral and ethical debates, it remains a controversial issue in many regions of the world.
Stem cells have been shown to have significant capability to develop into a plethora of different cell types and work as a repair system to replenish cells with specialized functions.
Due to the efforts of Iranian scientists, doctors, engineers and researchers, Iran has advanced tremendously in the fields of stem cell research, medicine, nanotechnology, biotechnology and aerospace engineering.
