Iran’s air marshal service among best: Commander

Brigadier General Ali Asghar Gorjizadeh said Iran has one of the safest skies in the world and ICAO has inspected Iran's aviation facilities three times, giving them top marks.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) admits that members of Iran’s air marshal service [an affiliate of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps] have high levels of morale, are physically ready and undergo up-to-date training, the commander of the Air Protection Unit said Saturday.

Brigadier General Ali Asghar Gorjizadeh further said Iran has one of the safest skies in the world and ICAO has inspected Iran’s aviation facilities three times, giving them top marks.

His comments came a while after the commander of the corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said 50 members of the service have fallen in the line of duty and a number of others have been disabled while trying to ensure the security of passengers in the sky.
