Boeing concludes US$3b Iranian 737 MAX deal
Boeing has finalised a definitive agreement with Iran Aseman Airlines for the purchase of up to 60 737 MAX commercial passenger aircraft. The deal includes firm orders for 30 737 MAXs, valued at $3b, and purchase rights for an additional 30 737 MAXs. The variants of the MAX series to be included in the deal were not specified. The contract signing followed a MOA with Aseman in April 2017, expressing the airline’s intent to make the purchase. Boeing has applied to the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control for approval of a license to perform under this transaction. Aseman Airlines currently has a fleet of around 30 aircraft, which includes 17 Fokker F100 regional jets. As a result of the long-standing embargo on US aircraft sales, the average age of aircraft in the fleet is 25 years. <br/>
