Iran Air has missed an opportunity to take early delivery of its first Boeing 777-300ER after Turkish Airlines, the original customer for the aircraft, refused the proposed delivery swap. Turkish Airlines had previously deferred delivery of the aircraft, due to lower than expected passenger volumes. Boeing still plans to deliver its initial batch of airplanes to Iran, however, early next year - as part of an 80 aircraft order comprising a variety of aircraft models.
