IranAir to buy 100 Airbus planes

IranAir has trimmed its planned order from Europe's Airbus to 100 planes, partly by dropping A380s, the flag carrier's head Farhad Parvaresh said.

"Although the nominal value of the contract for 118 Airbus planes had been announced at $25 billion, the A380 planes have been dropped from this contract, so the value of our Airbus contract will not be more than $10 billion," IRNA cited him as saying.

In June, Reuters reported that doubts were growing about Iran's planned purchase of 12 A380 planes as part of its proposed Airbus order.

In September, an Iranian official told Reuters that Iran had reduced the number of airplanes it planned to buy from Airbus by a further six amid delays in US regulatory approvals.
