LONDON, July 12 (IranMania) - Iran will cancel all contracts to lease Tupolev aircraft by March2005 , Moj news agency reported.

Quoting a report by the Public Relations Office of the Ministry of Roads and Transportation, it said that 17 leased Tupolev aircraft are operating in Iran, of which 12 will soon be taken out of service as their contracts have run out.

Contracts for the remaining five will be cancelled by March and they will be taken out of service together with three over-28-year-old Boeing 737 passenger planes, it added.

The report noted that some 88 airplane purchase plans were finalized in the past 30 months, leading to the conclusion of several contracts for the purchase of 44 aircraft.

Since the second half of the year to March2003 , some 21 aircraft have been delivered and are now in operation. Several Russian-made Tupolev aircraft have crashed in Iran during the past two decades, causing many fatalities.

Early in the year a plane carrying the then Minister of road and transportation and a number of parliamentarians crashed into forest areas in northern Iran killing all on board.

Air Tours Airlines announced later that the company would no longer use the Tupolev airliners in its flights and the Tupolev aircraft would be omitted from the air tours fleet. According to aircraft specialists the suitable age for flying planes is normally between 35 to45 .

Iran has had to use Russian planes due to the US embargo, which has created problems for the aviation industry. Iran has not been able to overhaul its aging Boeing fleet in recent years due to US sanctions.

Flight International weekly notes: after the transport minister of Iran agreed to purchase 20 TU-204-100 passenger liners, Iran has turned into the biggest partner of Russian enterprise. The mentioned planes will be produced on Aviastar-JV factory /located in Uliyanovsk/ and are to substitute Tu-154 ones being exploited nowadays by the series of Iranian companies. However the delivery contract for the new models hasn't been signed up yet they suppose to start deliveries in 2004 already to complete the contract within 4 coming years. By the way, USA has put an embargo on Iran and that's why not a single country expressed its readiness and an initiative to sell planes to Iran but for RF. As to the mentioned Tu-204-100, these machines are 210 passengers capable able to cover 4,440 km distance. As to some other advantages of cooperation with RF is that the last is able to create and build the technical support base right there in Iran and on the other hand Iranian industry can possible participate in details and part producing. However and certainly all these aspects should be determined inappropriate contracts and documents. Iran.ru

Zu der Folter-Diskussion :

@Marc79

Das ist doch nicht dein ernst Du vergleichst die systematische und legitimierte Folter im Iran (und anderes ist das nicht) mit ilegalen Einzelfällen in Deutschland. Oder zeig dur mir mal ein Fall wo jemand auf richterliche Anweisung ausgepeitscht wurde, wie im fall Assals.

Oh, da ist jemand wohl falsch informiert

Wer ich
Naja für die meisten Menschen ist wohl das auspeitschen Folter. Außer der Iran besteht zu großen Teilen aus Masochisten. Was ich aber weniger glaube, vor allem würde dann der Bestraffungsaspeckt weg fallen.

Marc, Dein großes Problem ist mal wieder, daß Du entscheidene Dinge gerne mal (bewusst ?) überliest. Rusbeh hat sehr richtig geschildert, daß die Folter im Iran gesetzlich nicht legitimiert ist. Also war Deine Behauptung, daß dem so sei einfach falsch. Dass Du danach, die Diskussion ins Lächerliche ziehst macht Deine Aussage nicht richtiger. Dass es Fälle von Folter gibt hat hier weder Rusbeh noch sonstwer bestritten.

Dann will ich mal sehen wie der Iran in solchen Situationen verfährt. Und wie er Christen vor Ort im Iran behandelt

Dann klär uns doch mal auf und berichte uns, wie Christen im Iran behandelt werden.
