Iran has completed an agreement with a foreign leasing company to finance the purchase of the first 17 aircraft the country plans to purchase from Airbus. While Iranian officials did not name the leasing company, industry sources said that Iran had been negotiating with United Arab Emirates' Dubai Aerospace on a financing deal. Under the agreement, the leasing company would assume the initial part of Iran's order from Airbus and then lease the jets to Iran.
