The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has agreed to review Venezuela s complaint against Argentina for seizing the Boeing 747-300 freighter belonging to Conviasa s cargo subsidiary Emtrasur and later handing it over to US authorities for scrapping. The aircraft was wanted by Washington because it had belonged to Iran s carrier Mahan Air and was said to be involved in logistics operations assisting terrorist attacks.
The Venezuelan-flagged Boeing 747-300 freighter aircraft registration YV3531 of the company Empresa de Transporte Aerocargo del Sur (Emtrasur), a subsidiary of Conviasa, has left after 20 months the Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Ezeiza, Argentina, for the United States.
