First Airbus to hit ground in Iran in few days
By Trend
State flag carrier IranAir says the Islamic Republic’s first new
Airbus aircraft is expected to land in Tehran on January 12.
Shahrokh Noushabadi, the spokesperson of IranAir, has said that the
A321 Airbus will arrive in Tehran on Thursday at 14:30 local time
(GMT+3:30), IRNA news agency reported.
The new airplane with a capacity for carrying 190 passengers is
expected to operate the domestic routes.
This will be Iran’s first time over the past three decades
acquiring an Airbus plan after years of international embargo.
Airbus signed a contract last December for the sale of 100 aircraft
to Iran Air, following the implementation of the nuclear deal
between the Islamic Republic and the world powers.
Airbus said the contract, covers 46 Airbus A320 planes, 38 A330
planes and 16 A350 XWB aircraft, with deliveries due to begin in
early 2017.
