| #7 Using their new 'push-to-start planes', no less... Dhakka start Iranian Mahan Air aircraft According to the daily Jang, an interesting situation developed when dozens of PIA officials pushed Iranian Mahan Air aircraft to send it back to Iran. When the airplane crew forgot to place an engine part called ‘tobar’ on the plane, 60 to 70 PIA workers and passengers started to push the plane. Iranian planes have previously been started like this on a number of occasions. |
