Iran to pay only half the amount for Boeing Airliners

Iran has secured a large discount for the purchase of 80 Boeing airliners that worth $16.6 billion. However, Tehran will only be paying half that amount after negotiations that were made official on Sunday. "Boeing has announced that its Iran Air contract is worth $16.6 billion. However, considering the nature of our order and its choice possibilities, the purchase contract for 80 Boeing aircraft is worth about 50% of that amount," Reuters wrote. On December 11, Iran Air signed an agreement with Boeing indicating that the company will purchase 80 planes over the next decade.
