Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s national carrier has signed an agreement to buy 20 new passenger airplanes with an option for 20 more from French-Italian aircraft manufacturer ATR, Iranian media reports.
The purchase comes a week after Iran Air signed a deal to buy 118 planes from the European consortium Airbus, signaling a major effort to develop the civilian aviation sector now that international sanctions have been lifted under a landmark nuclear deal.
ATR says the deal signed with Iran Air includes a firm order for 20 ATR 72-600 planes. Iran’s private Donya-e Eghtesad daily says the deal is worth $1.089 billion.
