Iran invited Boeing to visit Tehran and discuss the purchase of aircraft in order to upgrade its fleet trades, as state television reported the Iranian.
In February, the deputy minister of Iran's transport, Asghar Fakhrieh Kashan, said the country was planning to buy at least 100 new jets from Boeing. Boeing said it was evaluating the necessary steps to deal with Iran, as the government of the United States had not authorized the sale of aircraft so far.
"After the approval of the US government to Boeing, we invite the company to start talks on the development of the air fleet of the country," as quoted minister of road transport from Iran, Abbas Akhoundio to state television. He gave no details on the date on which Boeing will conduct the visit.
The United States gave Boeing a license last month to hold talks with airlines in Iran, but said he would need additional approval to make sales, as Iran still suffers from the American side constraints.
Airbus agreed to sell 118 planes worth about $ 2.7 billion after the European Union sanctions against Iran were taken into government in exchange for Tehran reduce its nuclear program.
The number and age of Airbus and Boeing aircraft which operates in Iran are currently manufactured from 1970 to 1990, which demonstrates the possible sales potential.
