On Sunday I wrote about the massive airplane order Iran Air is in the process of placing,for 127 planes. This includes eight A380s and 16 A350s. While Airbus has been struggling with selling the A380, I figured another airline would eventually site an order for it. However, and I didn't expect that airline to be Iran Air! This will benefit them replace their extremely outdated fleet,which includes A300s, A310s, and Fokker 100s,and even a 747SP.
All of this news came after the announcement final week of sanctions being lifted between Iran and the US/Europe.
I joked that I figured Iran Air would first fly the A380 to Los Angeles, given that it's already nicknamed "Tehrangeles." In addition to having to wait for their more contemporary planes to be delivered, or this would also require the two countries to negotiate terms for an air agreement. But it looks like that might not be quite as far off as some might expect,as negotiations are already underway.
