MAY 02, 2005 (newstodate): Iran's new Imam Khomeini International Airport, opened for traffic on Saturday, may not be operationally safe, say British and Canadian sources.
They claim that the airport's runways may be running over ancient underground irrigation channels that may cave in to the weight of aircraft.
Iran claims that the airport has been inspected by ICAO and is therefore safe to operate, but Britain and Canada has called for corrective action supervised by ICAO.
