Simply because the US' economic model isn't sustainable. They just keep printing money... When they are out of money, all the do is to loosen their sanctions in order to gain some new business in desperate times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hakan 2 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 Turkish Airlines want to sell their old A340s from the fleet before scrapping and Iran is seems like good market. They don't have a plan to buy A340, but I'm sure if THY offers low price than second hand lists, both of side would be wins. Years ago, if I'm not mistaken Turkish Airlines has been sold 7 A310(-200/-300) to Iran (Iranair and Mahan) in two parts while sanction in force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 Looking at their shopping list, used aircraft may no longer be favoured. They can get almost immediate delivery for B748s from Boeing and A333s from Airbus. So I think those October deliveries might be of new aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted December 11, 2016 Iran signs $16.6 billion deal for 80 Boeing planes: IRNA IranAir said it signed a deal on Sunday to buy 80 passenger planes from U.S. aircraft maker Boeing (BA.N), state news agency IRNA reported, in the biggest U.S.-Iran deal since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Boeing said in June it had signed a tentative agreement to sell 100 jets to IranAir after Iranian statements about the deal.

Tamizi Hj Tamby 1 Report post Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Looks like Airbus has started delivering the aircraft ordered by Iran Air; this A321-211SL (D-AVXA); according to a blog, this a/c is actually assigned for Avianca, but it was ntu, so it is assigned to Iran Air instead. And she will be re-registered as EP-IFA. Info: https://xfw-spotter.blogspot.my/search?q=7418 Edited December 12, 2016 by Tamizi Hj Tamby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Iran Drops A380s in Airbus Deal Airbus Group SE suffered a blow to its already troubled A380 program when Iran, which had previously suggested it would buy the double-decker planes, said it had dropped the model as part of a wider fleet upgrade. Iran reduced its order with Airbus to 100 planes in a contract that will no longer include A380s, Farhad Parvaresh, Iran Air’s chief executive officer, said in a press conference in Tehran. This will shrink the original $27 billion deal for 118 jets, including 12 A380s. A team from Airbus is currently in Tehran for talks on the deal. "Given there are now 100 planes in the contract, I don’t think that the overall value will exceed $10 billion, and that’s at the very most. The A330 was part of the deal from before and it still is, but there will be no A380," Parvaresh said. "There is no A380 at the moment, it’s just an option,” Parvaresh told reporters after a press conference in Tehran.

The writing is on the wall, VLA market is literally dead with B77W, B777-X and A350 It is; Since the SriLankan Airlines is cancelling their A350 order, hopefully they could secure it, since they already made a discussion about it. And hopefully they could secure some B77W ntu by other carrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
