I heard a rumour this evening that Iran Air are to take delivery of two A340-500's very soon. The two that they are to receive are the ones that were due to go to Air Canada a few months back, but since Air Canada are in a position where they are at this time not needed, Iran Air have offered to take them.

The two A340-500's are currently in storage at TLS.

Any more info would be a great help.

And now...first pic of it(real pic that is!:D)

I thought 2 of the A345 of Air Canada were destined for Brunei?

Why are they humiliating that A319? Such a beautiful aircraft deserves the best of liveries.

Maybe it's because Easyjet planes are such a common sight, but I'm really bored looking at their livery. A new one would be nice to see.

A daft question, but how many exit doors over the wing does that A319 have?

Looks like two from the piccy, but don't A319s only have one?

EZY requested to have two exit doors on their A319's.

Oh great; that was the way I used to distinguish between a A319 and a A320. :(

I presume only EZY have 2 exits on their 319s?

Just when you get the hang of something, someone changes the rules...lol

At least you'll know Easy only fly A319's so no mixing it with the A320.

Airbus had to up the number of overwing exits on EZY 319's so that they could offer the same seating capacity as the Boeing bid. In fact I believe they went a bit further and offered one extra seat just to really give themselves an advantage rather than just be equal.

So Airbus is the new R. Brentson of the skies, that is definitely something sir Richard would do ;)

Are Iran Air in any sort of financial state to take on the job of 2 A345's???

I like to see it, but I can only belive that it will stay a rumour.

I think Iran Air should be in sound financial condition for operating A345s.

Iranair as statal airline, whose regimen doesn´t give any explanation about statal finances and accountability can afford everything.

hater is not the right word....... dislike is more appropriate! Though i agree A340 will look nice in Iran's livery.
