- 8 years ago
Iran has finalized a historic deal with Boeing to buy passenger planes from the U.S. aircraft manufacturer as part of an ongoing effort to upgrade the country's civilian air fleet, Iranian media reported Tuesday.
If approved, the agreement would mean that new American aircraft would fly over Iran for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Reuters reported.
IranAir would acquire more than 100 Boeing jets under the potential multi-billion-dollar deal.
It would also be the first major contract between a U.S. company and Iran since nuclear-related sanctions on the country were lifted earlier this year.
