He further expressed hope that with the arrival of the ATR72-600, his country will benefit from the best efficiency and reliability.
In order to renew its aviation fleet, Iran requires 500 new
aircraft in the next 10 years, including over 100 replacements for
regional aircraft that are over 20 years old.
Under the $536-million deal the European airplane manufacturer is
expected to deliver nine ATR 72-600s to Iran in 2017.
Previously, Iran has also reached agreements with Airbus and Boeing
to renew its air fleet. The agreements with the aircraft
manufacturers came following Iran’s nuclear deal with the world
powers in 2015.
