Following the request of the Interior Ministry from CEO of Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), necessary coordination was made with Iraqi Aviation Organization in order to operate safe flight in airspace of the neighboring state.
Given the above issue, two helicopters each with 171-mile sprinkler (with 4000-lit. basket) were dispatched from Aerospace Center of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and Yas Air to Hawizeh Marshes.
Accordingly, there is a need for sustained flight due to the vast area of firing to extinguish the afflicted area.
