TEHRAN, May 3 (MNA) – The 10th regional meeting of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will open in Tehran today, the spokesman of the Iran Civil Aviation Organization said.

Supervision over flights at altitudes of 29,000 to 41,000 foot and equipping planes with more precise altimeters and inspecting their flying reliability are among the main issues to be discussed during the meeting, Jafarzadeh explained.
