General Director of the Russian commercial and transport aircraft manufacturer Aviastar-SP said his firm is interested to sign sale contract of up-to-date Tu-204CM aircraft to Iran.
‘We hope to receive orders to manufacture Tu-204CM commercial aircraft from Iran,’ Sergei Dementiev said quoted by Aviation Explorer website.
According to economic analyst Vladimir Karnosev, Russian trade and industry minister who visited Tehran in December raised the proposal during a meeting with his Iranian counterpart.
Iran and Russia held negotiations over placing orders to buy the aircraft five years ago which remained inconclusive due to US-led sanctions, the website reported.
