The Franco-Italian planemaker ATR Aircraft delivered five new ATR 72-600 planes to Iran Air on Saturday and the jets landed in Tehran a day later on Sunday, which move is interpreted by Iran Air's CEO as a proof of European Union’s ability to support businesses against unruly US sanctions.
According to Farzaneh Sharafbafi, the flag carrier is likely to take deliveries of three more ATR planes in the future, “the delivery process for three ATR 72-600s has already started … We will receive the planes once the company issues the required permits.”
Sunday deliveries were not limited to airplanes.
According to Roads Minister Abbas Akhoundi, the country has also received €5 million worth of airplane parts made by European and American firms.
