20 November (IranVNC)—
Iran Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] yesterday announced that the schedules for flights originating in that country will be adjusted to the times of the Islamic prayer. (!!!!) “After yesterday’s notification by the leader that attention needs to be paid to the times of the prayer for travelers in transit, this morning a directive highlighting three points was circulated to all airline companies and airport affiliated companies,” Captain Hossein Khanlari, the director of ICAO, was quoted by the semi-official news agency, ISNA, as saying.He added: “The first point was that airlines must coordinate their flight schedules in such a way that it does not interfere with the call to prayer and the performing divine obligations, so that travelers can use this time for praying.”He went on: “Also for longer trips, the airline companies must create facilities within the aircraft for performing divine obligations, so that those travelers, who have not been able to perform their prayers in the airport, can do so inside the aircraft.”On Wednesday, Khamenei had called for “all greater [urban] engineering projects must have a mosque-annex and the government must put this on its agenda and treat it very seriously,” adding: “Special facilities for praying must be designated in metro and trains, inter-city coaches, and aboard flights and larger industrial and housing estates.”
