Iran Air to take first Boeing 777-300ER in April 2018

Iran Air expects to take delivery of its first new Boeing 777-300ER in April 2018, chairman and MD Farhad Parvaresh said. In Dec 2016, Boeing firmed a MOA with Iran Air announced earlier that year for 50 narrowbody and 30 widebody aircraft in a deal valued at US$16.6b at list prices. “We also hope to add 2 more Airbus A320s to our fleet this year,” Parvaresh said. In January, Iran Air took delivery of its first new aircraft, an A321, which operates mainly on domestic routes. The A321 was part of an historic 100-aircraft Airbus order, comprising 46 A320s, 38 A330s and 16 A350s, which was finalised Dec 22, 2016. The amended deal was anticipated for most of 2016 and followed the lifting of international sanctions on Iran in January of that year. <br/>
