36-year-old Boeing 747-300 - True Brothers in Iran, Brother Relay "Wear" Planes Close the Curtains/Text
Iran and Venezuela are thousands of miles apart, but they are close and good brothers. The two countries, which have had tense relations with the United States for years, have been sanctioned by the United States, cannot do business with the United States (and its allies), cannot enjoy American technology, and have been restricted from using American products.
The two countries are in economic distress under U.S. sanctions. In Particular, Iran, because it is impossible to buy aircraft or accessories, aviation accidents occur frequently. And Venezuela has not been updated for a long time because it cannot open the pot. Its state-owned airline, Conviasa, still uses the A340-200, and one of the three VIP planes serving the government is a 737-200, which is enough to be old – 46 years!
Both countries are rich in oil and boldly issue currencies, but few people do business with them. Recently, it was reported that an old Iranian 747-300 aircraft was successfully sold to Venezuela. Because the air cargo market is now booming, a Venezuelan company called Emtrasur Cargo got it from Mahan Air.
According to the data, the aircraft was produced in 1986 and is 36 years old. It served with Air France for many years and was transferred to Mahan in 2007 by Armenia's Blue Sky Airlines. Mahan Air is a private airline in Iran, but it is also unable to purchase aircraft through normal channels, and the story of each aircraft is very legendary.
The aircraft was a "passenger-cargo hybrid", or what flyers called the 747-300(M). Given that it is so old, it should only be used for pulling goods. How exactly did the two countries settle this business? There is no information on the Internet, which is very intriguing.
When the mainland is in full swing, it is often brothers or sisters who "take over" to dress. A piece of clothing the boss wears the second, and the second wears the third. Now it seems that Iran and Venezuela are also such good brothers Wow!
