Two new ATR aircraft land in Tehran
By Trend
Iran has just received two new ATR 72-600 planes, increasing the
number of the country’s new ATRs to eight, the country's local
media outlets reported.
It was earlier announced that under an existing agreement between
Iran's national flag carrier airline, Iran Air (HOMA), the
French-Italian aircraft manufacturer is expected to deliver 14 more
planes in 2018.
Following the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA/ nuclear deal) in January 2016, Iran concluded deals
to acquire 100 planes from Airbus, 80 from Boeing and 20 from ATR,
in a move aimed at renewing the country’s aged aviation fleet.
In the addition to the eight ATR, the country has already received three Airbus, increasing the number of Iran’s post-sanctions aircraft to 11.
