They ask the government about the strange maneuvers of a Venezuelan plane of Iranian origin

Opposition MPs asked the government for the maneuvers of a Venezuelan plane, of Iranian origin, which flew between Buenos Aires and Córdoba with the transponder off as if he didn’t want to be located. A transponder transmits aircraft identification information to the control towers.

Questions have been asked by Gerardo Milman and other deputies of the opposition in a request for reports submitted to the lower house for the government.

Milan asked that “the plane would be owned by the Iranian company sanctioned by the US. Mahan Air, which in January of this year would have sold it to the Venezuelan state company Conviasa, in its “cargo” version, Emtrasur. This was also sanctioned by the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Recently, former Bolivian President Evo Morales arrived in Buenos Aires on a plane, also subject to an embargo by the United States.

The former Deputy Minister of Security of Mauricio Macri’s government was consulted on the “presumably behavior” abnormals on a “freight” flight originating in Mexico “.

On 6 June a Boeing 747 Dreamliner, in cargo configuration, license plate YV3531 coming from Mexico and destined for the Minister Pistarini International Airport, was unable to land at the destination airport and had to travel to the city of Córdoba. In the afternoon it then took off again to complete its flight to Ezeiza.

The one in June, on the other hand, took off from the Minister Pistarini International Airport and after flying over the Río de la Plata for 20 minutes, landed at that airport again “for unknown reasons”.

Finally yesterday, June 9, he would take off direct to the city of Caracas in Venezuela, “With transponder off”Milman said.

According to existing information, the crew with which he landed in Cordoba is said to be mixed, of Venezuelan nationality. (nine crew members) and Iranian (seven crew members).

“Seen the behavior enigmatic of the flight, the less confusing ownership of the aircraft and the composition of the crew, is that I ask my peers to accompany me in this project, ”added the opposition legislator.

Milmam asks if “the aviation authority can confirm that on the last flight of 9 June, the plane turned off its “transponder” and, if so, the reasons“. He also asked “if you can confirm whether it was an official or a private flight”.
