May 11, 2015 (newstodate): Iran's privately-owned carrier Mahan Airlines has bolstered its long-haul aircraft fleet with more Airbus aircraft.
The carrier has thus now taken delivery of four ex-Virgin Airbus A340-300 aircraft acquired from the Iraqi airline al-Naser Airlines that has seen its long-haul business reined in by being only the 2nd designated Iraqi carrier, after Iraqi Airways.
The new A340-340 aircraft will allow Mahan Air to phase out its current long-haul fleet of three Airbus A300B2 and three Airbus A300B4-200 aircraft.
In the fleet of Mahan Air are already three Airbus A340-300 aircraft two of which were formerly operated by Lufthansa and one by Gulf Air.
