First New ATR Plane to Arrive in Two Weeks


TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran’s national flag carrier Iran Air says it expects to receive the first of a series of planes purchased from ATR in two weeks.
Iran Air Managing Director Farhad Parvaresh told the domestic media that this would be part of the first batch of four turboprops which would be gradually delivered to Iran over the next few months. Parvaresh added that pilots had been sent to France to receive the required trainings from ATR for flying the planes. Iran Air signed an agreement with the French-Italian aircraft manufacturer to purchase a total of 20 medium-range turboprops.
