Major transportation expo opens as gov’t prioritizes transit infrastructure growth
Five new aircraft join national fleet
On the sidelines of the exhibition, Masoumeh Aqapour, the president’s economic adviser, said measures were underway to modernize the air fleet and boost non-oil exports, with five new aircraft recently joining the country’s fleet.
She added that the Economic Council had approved projects to procure new locomotives, while maritime transport — “as one of the pillars of a sea-based economy” — was also receiving attention through new policies on ports and shipbuilding.
The exhibition, held at Tehran’s International Fairground for four days, covers six themes, including the five modes of transport, digital and technological logistics, logistics resilience and crisis management, integrated and multimodal transport, sustainable and agile supply chains, and innovation, governance and policymaking.
The event features innovation and advanced technology sections, a technology experience area, a business interaction hub, export and international engagement platforms, training workshops, media and documentation hubs, as well as expert panels. An “innovation stage” will also showcase the latest industry breakthroughs both from participants and external invitees.
According to Sodaif Beykzadeh, acting head of Iran International Exhibition Company, “This year’s expo, with participation from rail, air, and maritime transport representatives and logistics firms, has seen significant growth compared with previous editions.”
He said that the logistics sector is a key infrastructure that improves the supply chain and can provide a basis for economic growth.
