Iran Purchase Planes

Iran said on Sunday it has finalized a $16.8 billion deal with Boeing to purchase 80 passenger planes, a deal made possible by last year's landmark nuclear agreement.

Iran plans to purchase Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighter planes to modernise its air force, the Defence Minister said on Saturday, adding that Tehran might again allow Russia to use an Iranian air base for its operations in Syria.

Iran and US aerospace giant Boeing have reached a deal for the purchase of 100 aircraft to renew the country's ageing fleet, the head of Tehran's civil aviation authority announced today.

Iran plans to buy Airbus and Boeing passenger planes through long-term payment agreements once a nuclear accord with world powers is implemented, the transport minister said.
