Early life
Khademi was born in Jahrom. He studied at the Military Academy and Air Force Flying School in Tehran, British Civil Aviation Authority in London and US Air Force University in Alabama.[2]
According to Persian-language book Tarikhcheh-ye Havapeymai-e Bazargani dar Iran (Abbas Atrvash, 2007), from 1958 Khademi was the chief of staff at Iranian Air Force and from 1962 to 1978 he was the general manager of Iran Air. During his 16-year tenure there, "the company was transformed from a fledgling domestic airline to a thriving national flag-carrier."[2]
Khademi was the president of IATA in 1970–1971.
In September 1978, shortly before the Islamic Revolution in his homeland, Khademi resigned from his job and on November 7, 1978, he was assassinated in his home in Tehran.
