Franco-Italian planemaker ATR is ready to deliver a number of airplanes to Iran Air before the US sanctions’ revival in August, an advisor to the minister of roads and urban development said on Monday.
Ali Asghar Fakhrieh-Kashan added that Boeing and Airbus are also expected to announce their decisions about Iran Air’s orders in a week.
“The US administration has illegally pulled out of the nuclear deal and has set a deadline for businesses to cut relations with Iran. Naturally, we are doing our best to make use of the opportunity to take delivery of more airplanes ... We will receive more aircraft if planemakers agree to deliver ahead of the schedule,” the ministry’s website quoted Fakhrieh-Kashan as saying.
