Abstract
Article history: Received July 25, 2012 Received in Revised form August, 26, 2012 Accepted 10 September 2012 Available online 13 September 2012 This paper presents an investigation on existing challenges in developing aviation industry in Iran. The proposed study designs and distributes a questionnaire among all specialists who are involved with design, production and distribution of aviation industry in Iran. Our interview has revealed that there were approximately 200 potential experts as population of our survey. The designed questionnaire consists of six parts in Likert scale in terms of linguistic terms. All six parts of the survey was designed based on four segments of aviation industry in Iran. Based on the results of this survey, appropriate structure for the legislative, availability of sufficient funds for purchasing private planes, public access to the airports and airport services and availability of supply chain management and technical service centers are the most important challenges in this industry. In addition, availability of various infrastructures such as runways, hangars and maintenance centers to access the industrial towns and insufficient support from relevant organizations such as the ministry of commerce, industry and mining, civil aviation organization and other organizations in the manufacturing and aircraft are among other most important challenges in developing this industry in Iran. © 2012 Growing Science Ltd.

Summary
Aviation industry plays important role on developing economy in different industries such as tourism industry (Smyth et al, 2012). Heracleous and Wirtz (2009) studied how Singapore Airlines had achieved its outstanding performance and sustained its competitive advantage, through efficiently using a dual strategy including differentiation through service excellence and innovation, together with simultaneous cost leadership in its peer group They investigated the organizational elements permitted the company to do so and showed its strategic alignment using a vertical alignment framework, and concluded by highlighting the some important challenges ahead. Marais and Robichaud (2012) investigated the contribution of maintenance, both in terms of frequency and severity, to passenger airline risk by investigating three various sources of data from 1999 to 2008: 769 NTSB accident reports, 3242 FAA incident reports, and 7478 FAA records of fines and other legal actions taken against airlines and associated organizations They analyzed various safety related metrics and developed an aviation maintenance risk scorecard, which collected these metrics to synthesize a comprehensive track record of maintenance contribution to airline accidents. The proposed model of this paper first presents details of our survey in section 2 and section 3 explains details of results, the paper ends with concluding remarks
