Re: Iran Air First A330-200 EP-IJA

Do we know the config and seats? Also, I would adore to see this on a 777-300ER and IR turning into a global carrier like EK and EY, but some prick in the US is xenophobic so... As long as sharia laws prevail, no chance in hell they can. IR used to be a world class career back in the 70s. Also, its...

Re: Congressman renews push that could kill Iran jet deals

IR took delivery of first brand new Airbus Aircraft. Wondering how many brand new Aircraft they will be getting in current month. Any idea? AFAIK no further deliveries are planned this month. The first ATR should join the fleet in February, followed by an A330 in March. 2 A332's in one month or less.

Re: Iran Air Officially Receives First Airbus Aircraft

Is Iran active in the fish business? Iran exports the best and most expensive Caviar in the world. Straight from the Caspian sea. While absolutely true, this fish thing is a joke, alluding to Icelandair and their fleet of 757s that they use to haul fish. And Iranian caviar is not exported by the th...

Re: First A321 for Iran Air

With new aircraft incoming, it would be a perfect time for Iran to go with a new livery. I honestly don't think so. It has kindof this retro/classic vibe that looks clean without being ancient. Etîhad might have a great modern livery, for example, but that vdoesnt mean Lufthansa should. Iran isnt e...

They have taken off the most interesting planes from the Boeing and the Airbus order. So Iran Air will become Bore Air. Good. It's indicative that they're more concerned about making money, than about appealing to ridiculous notions of prestige. Or missing the opportunity of really making money by ...
