We will have the court documents regarding how "Pars Tours" treated it's customers and how they lost here soon. Meanwhile we suggest you do not conduct business with them specially if you are not in the same province, as they have eluded paying court mandated compensation due to the fact that there is no inter-provincial agreement between Quebec and Ontario to enforce payment if the other party is not in the same province. Meanwhile we bring to your attention some interesting facts about Iran Air: -Iran Air's average fleet age is 22.8 years (as of 21 March 2010).[14] -Aircraft acquired by Iran Air must have less than 10% of US-manufactured components on board and it must not have belonged to a US airline since its registration.[15] -As most Airbus aircraft have General Electric, CFM, Pratt and Whitney (US) or Rolls-Royce (UK) Iran Air has not been able to acquire many of their aircraft.[15] -Current American sanctions do not prevent Iran Air from leasing American or European aircraft but Iran Air prefers purchasing in order to be able to perform all maintenance and remain up to date with technological advances. Since purchasing from American or European manufacturers directly is prohibited under US and EU sanctions, Iran Air turns to third parties airlines as well as Russian manufacturers.[16] -In August 2007, the airline announced an order for 5 Tupolev Tu-204-100 aircraft. On 20 December 2006, Iran Air put back into operation one of its Boeing 747-SP aircraft that had been out of operation for many years, after putting it through a major overhaul by the Fajr Aviation & Composites Industry. -On 14 August 2007, it was reported[17] that Iran Air had overcome sanctions imposed by the west and that their fleet of A310s are ready to resume service. -On 21 May 2008, it was reported[18] that Iran Air may become subject to a new EU sanction, banning all its flights from landing in EU airports. According to Iran Air's managing director Saeed Hesami, EU is citing Iran Air's technical and safety shortcomings as the reason for the imminent ban. |
