Boeing has however not provided the quantity and type of aircrafts in question along with their delivery schedules.
Boeing has disclosed that it has signed an agreement with Iran Air for the sale of its jetliners. This disclosures confirms news reports emanating from Iran stating that a deal has been signed with Boeing, the news of which have sent Iran Air’s shares soaring.
According to Boeing, it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran Air “expressing the airline’s intent to purchase Boeing commercial passenger airplanes.”
Shackled by sanctions, Iran’s fleet of aircrafts have aged and have not been updated since a while. Iran Air is officially recognized as the country’s air carrier.
Boeing has not disclosed the number or the types of planes which are up for sale to Iran. Furthermore, it has also not provided a timetable for delivery of the same to Iran as well. What is clear however, is that the order is a large one.
Earlier this year in January, Iran wanted to purchase 118 Airbus aircrafts worth at least $27 billion.
This news has not had much impact on Boeing’s shares, which were down by 0.3% to $132.35 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
