Iran says A380s ‘may not be delivered’
Iran says it will replace A380 Airbus planes with A350 planes if the conditions for their delivery are not met as agreed – an announcement that has now cast doubts if the advanced planes that the country had earlier said wanted for long-distance flights to the Americas will ever be available to Tehran. Farhad Parvaresh, the managing director of Iran Air, has been quoted as saying that Iran may even go for other Airbus models if any problem occurs over the delivery of A380s. In January, Iran signed a major deal worth over US$27b for the purchase of 118 planes from Airbus. Iran Air CE Parvaresh has said that 16 planes will be A380s that will be – if no problem occurs – delivered to Iran from 2021. He added that 16 planes will also be A350s which he said are even more advanced than A380s. <br/>
