Iran is preparing to unveil a historic agreement for Boeing jetliners within days that could be valued at about $25 billion at list prices.
The transaction would be the first struck by the plane-maker since sanctions were lifted in January and would require U.S. government approval.
Iranian Minister Abbas Akhoundi in an address to Parliament referred to a Boeing agreement “within the coming days,” according a statement Monday on the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development website. He said the country needs to invest about $50 billion to bolster its fleet with 400 mid- and long-range jetliners and 100 short-haul planes.
In January, Europe’s Airbus Group announced an order from Iran for 188 jets worth $27 billion at list prices, though buyers typically negotiate discounts from the list price. That deal also needs a U.S. Treasury Department license before it can be finalized.
