Boeing bullish on Iran as nuclear negotiations near close | GulfNews.com:



"Boeing Co is bullish on the Iranian market, believing that the Islamic republic’s self-assessment for new aircraft is accurate.



“We’ve done a pretty good assessment on our side and we think the demand, should things open up, would be very strong,” Marty Bentrott, vice president — sales, Middle East, Russia & Central Asia at Boeing, told reporters in Dubai on Monday at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM).



Iran has been barred by sanctions from buying western aircraft since the 1970s. But negotiations over its nuclear programme with the United States and other world powers that are set to come to close next month have raised hopes that the sanctions will be lifted. Last year, Iran’s top aviation official said the country’s airliners would need to order 400 aircraft over the next 10 years to replace its depleting and ageing fleet."
