The Iran Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO) (Persian: سازمان صنایع هوایی
ایران) was established in 1966 for the purpose of planning, controlling, and
managing the military aviation industry of Iran.
Currently, the IAIO is
responsible for directing five aviation organizations:
SAHA,
HESA,
PANHA,
GHODS,
Shahid Basir Industry.
These five organizations have different and complementary roles in the Iranian
defense industry and Iranian civil aviation, and have progressed, with the
exception of Ghods, from repair and maintenance facilities to larger defence
enterprises with several thousands employees.
The Iran Helicopter Support
and Renewal Company (IHSRC), or PANHA, was formed in 1969, the Iranian Aircraft
Industries (IACI) in 1970, and Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industries
Corporation (IAMI), also known under its Persian acronym HESA, in 1974. Two
other important companies, Iran Aviation Industries Organization of the Armed
Forces, (also known as the Iranian Armed Forces Aviation Industries Organization
(IAFAIO)), and GHODS Research Center were formed in the early 1980s.

Iran Aircraft Industries (IACI) or SAHA was established in 1961 as SAHA Iran
Aircraft Industries and renamed Iran Aircraft Industries (IACI), with the help
of German scientists mainly for maintenance and overhaul services for Iran's
military helicopters and aircraft (i.e. major repair of fighter, passenger, and
air support planes). Over time, SAHA became an important part of Iran’s aviation
industry. In 1998, Iranian scientists and experts started designing,
engineering, and manufacturing complex engine parts, airplane parts, and
manufacturing turbine engines.
