Stork-Fokker F100s to go to Iran

Officials from Stork-Fokker Services are meeting with IranAir’s new chairman and managing director Saeid Hesami here at the show to talk over plans to send another three Fokker 100s from Brazil’s TAM to the Islamic Republic’s national carrier. IranAir has become Fokker Services’ best customer in the region primarily because a U.S. trade embargo limits the shipment to Iran of aircraft  with more than 10-percent U.S. content. The Fokker regional jets remain the only Western models that qualify for export. With the three additional 100-seat jets, IranAir’s Fokker 100 fleet will increase to 11. It took delivery of three others only about a year ago.
