Iran's 1st newly-purchased ATR plane to arrive in Tehran next week

There remains nearly six days to the final delivery of the first ATR plane to Iran, Parvaresh said.

Iran's national flag carrier signed a final agreement with ATR on April 13 for purchasing 20 passenger planes.

ATR is due to gradually deliver four of the newly-purchased planes to Iran in the near future, the official said.

Asked whether the four airplanes will be delivered at the same time, Parvaresh said it is not clear yet.
