Photos of at least six brand new ATR 72-600 turboprops made for Iran in the vicinity of Toulouse-Blagnac Airport have surfaced on aviation media outlets in recent days, raising hopes for the possibility of last-minute deliveries before the reimposition of US sanctions against Iran, which is due on August 6.
The planes are part of Iran Air's post-nuclear deal order for 20+20 new turboprops. The delivery process is facing hurdles following the US administration’s unilateral withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers.
Iran has taken deliveries of eight ATR 72-600 aircraft so far as part of the order.
