Iran Air: Airbus contract finalised; A380s dropped
Iran Air has finalised its aircraft order agreement with Airbus, but has cut 12 A380s from the order for more than 100 aircraft, the airline’s CE said. Airbus announced Jan 28, 2016, that it had signed agreements with Iran Air covering the purchase of 21 A320ceo family aircraft, 24 A320neo family aircraft, 27 A330ceos, 18 A330-900neos, 16 A350-1000s and 12 A380s. Iran Air CE Farhad Parvaresh said that the A380s have been “removed from the contract.” Providing an indication of the discount Iran Air will be receiving, Parvaresh said “the real value of the deal will not exceed US$10b.” When announced in January, the order was valued at around $25b at list prices, though that included the A380s, which are valued at more than $400m each. Parvaresh said 7 or 8 Airbus aircraft will be delivered to Iran Air in 2017. <br/>
