Tehran: Iran has filed an official complaint with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) against some international airports that refuse to fuel Iranian aircraft.

Vice President for Aeronautical and International Affairs at the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran (CAO) Morteza Dehqan told reporters that Iranian aircraft face fueling problems at some airports around the world due to unilateral US sanctions.

"The sanctions are aimed at cutting the Iranian people off from the rest of the world," he was quoted as saying in a report by IRNA.

The United States has imposed economic, commercial, scientific and military sanctions on Iran, including banning the sale of aircraft and repairing spare parts to Iranian airlines. (QNA)
