Boeing Iran License Expected Soon

Boeing expects the United States to approve a license to sell commercial aircraft to Iran after Airbus got the go-ahead from Treasury for a 17-aircraft deal on Wednesday.

Airbus received licenses to deliver 17 aircraft to Iran as part of a January provisional order for 118 aircraft worth about USD$27 billion at list prices.

As Boeing applied for a license to sell to Iran after the Airbus application, Boeing expects its approval “shortly”.
