[edit] Current events

Is Iran Air still allowed to fly into London given the present situation? 217.155.20.163 19:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incidents and Accidents

This section, especially the last few lines are VERY biased and need to be changed. I do not know anything about these events and am not an experienced wikipedia user so can't do so myself but somebody should. Cherie

Agreed. This section is clearly written by someone who is openly anti-American, and who places the blame for the incident entirely upon the US. It is deliberately written in such a manner so as to lead the reader to believe that it was an intentional act on the part of Americans. It must be rewritten from a more neutral standpoint.

[edit] Irrelevant info.

I have deleted the following information from the article

• Information on the models - this is a hobbyist thing and has nothing to do with the operations or history of the airline. It is more advertising than anything else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Russavia (talk • contribs) 18:12, 3 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Sanctions

"Due to the sanctions imposed by the US government, Iranian airliners can only acquire airplanes which are at least 7 years old, and they only can be purchased through a third party instead of direct purchase from Boeing or Airbus"

This is impossible. Airbus is not under US jurisdiction. - MSTCrow 22:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

The embargo may still apply with Airbus, since a large number of components on Airbus planes are nevertheless made in the US. It may be REALLY hard for Iran to buy A320s, for example, since all three engine models on offer are made with US contribution (CFM is GE+Snecma, IAE is P&W+JAEC+MTU+RR and P&W, the third choice, is fully US). But, nevertheless, this line is still very shaky - why 7 years, and why not do what other airlines in this awkward situation do - buy Russian (Ilyushin and Tupolev would gladly build them as many planes as they want) or wet-lease (like Cubana does) --Xanthar 04:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iran Air logo.gif

Image:Iran Air logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] NO A340 For Iran Air

Iran Air has not leased/bought/received any A340s from Conviasa/Venezuela. This comes directly from the Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran, Arturo Anibal Gallegos Ramirez:

“According to an agreement reached (between Iranian and Venezuelan airlines) for direct flights between Tehran and Caracas, Venezuela earmarked an Airbus 340 for this purpose, but this airplane was not given to Iran or presented as a gift to the Iranian friends.” TEHRAN TIMES —Preceding unsigned comment added by Persan en japon (talk • contribs) 16:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
