Iran to sue ATR over undelivered airplanes
The Iranian government plans to file a lawsuit against ATR for breach of its contract to deliver all of the 20 ATR 72-600s ordered by Iran Air, Iran’s Mehr News Agency reported Wednesday, quoting the head of the Iranian parliament’s Civil Commission, Mohammadreza Rezaei-Kouchi. ATR, which last month delivered the last of 13 airplanes now in Iran Air’s possession, recently began the process of “reallocating” the 7 undelivered airplanes after US sanctions that came back into force Aug 7 effectively prevented any further deliveries to the Islamic Republic. However, Tehran has accused ATR of unnecessarily yielding to political pressure from the US. “This company is obliged to either comply with its remaining commitments or pay compensations to Iran,” said Rezaei-Kouchi. <br/>
