ATR Says It Won’t Risk Delivering Planes to Iran

Regional aircraft manufacturer ATR has to give up delivering the remainder of the aircraft ordered by Iran because of the reinstatement of US sanctions, French daily Le Figaro quoted the company’s chief executive officer, Christian Scherer, as saying. 
“In 2018, our delivery target could be impacted given the Iranian context,” he said in an interview published earlier this week in French weekly financial newspaper La Tribune. 
“Of the 80 planes we expected to deliver in 2018, there were 12 for Iran; that’s a lot.”
