Iran reaches deal to acquire Boeing planes
Iran said it has reached an agreement with Boeing for the supply of airliners, reopening the country's skies to new US aircraft for the first time in decades. Details of the agreement were left vague, but could involve flag carrier Iran Air acquiring more than 100 Boeing jets, both directly and from leasing companies. The agreement is so far only a broad outline of what a formal deal would look like once Boeing has the necessary US govt approvals to sell planes to Iran. So far, Boeing has only been granted permission to present its products to Iran Air and a handful of other airlines as it tries to catch up with Airbus, which has won a provisional deal for 118 aircraft worth US$27b. <br/>
