GE says U.S. approves overhaul of aircraft engines for Iran
GE says it received permission from the U.S. government to overhaul 18 engines sold to Iran in the late 1970s following a temporary sanctions relief deal reached in January. GE officials plan to meet with officials from Iran flag carrier Iranair and MTU in Istanbul next week to discuss Iran's needs. Boeing said earlier today it received a license from the government to export certain spare parts for commercial aircraft to Iran.
