FTA: "...
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's official IRNA news agency is reporting that the country's Aseman Airlines has finalized a deal to purchase 60 planes from the American company Boeing.
The Saturday report said that the planes will be delivered in two batches and the first batch will consist of 30 737 passenger planes to be delivered in 2019.
This is the second deal between the Chicago-based Boeing and an Iranian airliner since a landmark nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers went into practice in 2016.
In December Iran Air, the country's flag carrier, finalized a $16.6 billion deal with Boeing to purchase 80 passenger planes..."
[NOTE: If you're counting, that makes (60+80)=140 total planes to Iranian Companies.]
As has been noted around here; Spirit Aviation Systems here in Wichita produces all 737s Fusilages, and varients, and they are then transported by BNSF to PNW to be finished by Boeing, in Boeing's specialized fleet of railcars. Kind of interesting to note that for years, Boeing's passenger aircraft, had to take a train before they could fly!
P.S. Found a link to some photos of how the fusilages look on their specialized transport cars... The collage also shows some photos of the MRL train that dumped three fusilages into the Clark Fork R in Montana, in Joly of 2014.
