Feb 05, 2020 (newstodate): It comes as no surprise that Iran's commercial aircraft fleet is suffering from ageing.
The deteriorating condition of the aircraft shows in data from the country's Central Insurance Company where payouts to airlines increased by 44 percent during the fiscal year ending in March 2019 due to an increase in air accidents and incidents through the year.
28 Iranian airlines now operate a total of 259 aircraft with an average age of 24.96 years.
Iran's airlines had ordered close to 400 new aircraft after the lifting of the nuclear sanctions in 2016, but only one Airbus A321, two Airbus A330 and 13 ATR 72-600 aircraft were delivered before US sanctions clamped down on the country.
