DUBAI: An Airbus A330 airliner arrived in Tehran on Saturday, the third of 200 Western-built passenger aircraft ordered by IranAir following the lifting of sanctions on Iran last year.

The long-haul A330-200 landed at Tehran´s Mehrabad airport, the official news agency IRNA reported, as flag-carrier IranAir tries to renew its decaying fleet.  The aircraft joins another A330 and a smaller A321 delivered to Iran earlier this year by Airbus.

Airbus was not immediately available for comment.
