Head of Civil Aviation Organization denies claim of 10 aircraft entering from Saudi Arabia

The head of the country's civil aviation organization denied claims of ten aircraft entering from Saudi Arabia and being added to the national air fleet. This denial followed the circulation of rumors regarding the delivery of Boeing 777 aircraft to Iranian airlines. The aviation organization head emphasized that private companies can independently pursue aircraft purchases, but the reported news in this regard is not accurate. Simultaneously, discussion of ticket pricing for Arbaeen flights was also on the agenda.

• The head of the civil aviation organization explicitly stated that "the claim of ten aircraft entering from Saudi Arabia and being added to the national air fleet is denied."
• According to one source's report, the published claim from "Clash Report" concerned the transfer of several Boeing 777 passenger aircraft to Iran, but it is unclear how many aircraft this source mentioned.
• The head of the civil aviation organization emphasized that private companies can independently pursue aircraft purchases, which demonstrates a distinction between private sector activities and false reports.
• The issue of ticket pricing for Arbaeen flights was placed under review and was to be announced shortly.
• One source reported on the refund of ticket fees for all cancelled flights.
• Multiple sources simultaneously and nearly identically denied this claim.. Coverage difference: The majority of media outlets highlighted the official denial and emphasized the inaccuracy of the aircraft entry claims. Some sources (ISNA, IRNA, Rouydad24) presented the Arbaeen ticket pricing issue alongside the denial. Only one source (Khabr Fori) with a different headline emphasized the initial claim of aircraft transfer from Saudi Arabia and cited an external source (Clash Report), while other domestic sources rejected this claim.
