SENATOR CORNYN PUSHES FOR SECURITY MEASURES AT AIRPORTS SERVED BY IRANIAN CARRIER
July 14, 2017
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) on June 12, 2017 stated on the Senate floor that he plans to push for the DHS to increase security at airports served by Mahan Air—an Iranian air carrier. Cornyn said that he will offer a bipartisan amendment to an Iran sanctions bill that would require DHS to compile a list of airports where Mahan operates and make recommendations for increasing security at those facilities.
Although Mahan Air does not fly to any U.S. destinations, Cornyn believes that the airline’s operation to European destinations is a security threat to Americans traveling abroad.
