I heard a rumour this evening that Iran Air are to take delivery of two A340-500’s very soon. The two that they are to receive are the ones that were due to go to Air Canada a few months back, but since Air Canada are in a position where they are at this time not needed, Iran Air have offered to take them.
The two A340-500’s are currently in storage at TLS.
Any more info would be a great help.
And now…first pic of it(real pic that is!:D)

hater is not the right word……. dislike is more appropriate! Though i agree A340 will look nice in Iran’s livery.

A naff airline for a naff aircraft 😀 . Sorry airbus people!!

Iranair as statal airline, whose regimen doesn´t give any explanation about statal finances and accountability can afford everything.

I think Iran Air should be in sound financial condition for operating A345s.

Are there any A345s in service yet

So Airbus is the new R. Brentson of the skies, that is definitely something sir Richard would do 😉

At least you’ll know Easy only fly A319’s so no mixing it with the A320.
By: Pembo330 - 27th August 2003 at 11:56
Oh great; that was the way I used to distinguish between a A319 and a A320. 🙁
I presume only EZY have 2 exits on their 319s?
Just when you get the hang of something, someone changes the rules…lol
By: A330Crazy - 27th August 2003 at 11:52
EZY requested to have two exit doors on their A319’s.
By: Pembo330 - 27th August 2003 at 11:49
A daft question, but how many exit doors over the wing does that A319 have?
Looks like two from the piccy, but don’t A319s only have one?
By: Ren Frew - 27th August 2003 at 10:30
Maybe it’s because Easyjet planes are such a common sight, but I’m really bored looking at their livery. A new one would be nice to see.
By: Dutchy - 27th August 2003 at 10:27
Why are they humiliating that A319? Such a beautiful aircraft deserves the best of liveries.
By: KabirT - 27th August 2003 at 09:51
I thought 2 of the A345 of Air Canada were destined for Brunei?

Hey A330crazy, great pic!
Although the Iran Airways rumor sounds fantastic, it also means i wont see the AC A345 flyin anytime soon:(
F.Y.I- The two A345’s are stored at Chateaureux( Deols) CHR, France.
Best regards-
