Iran's national carrier Iran Air has completed an order for 100 Airbus planes with a list price of around 20 billion US dollar as the Islamic Republic opens up to the West. <br/><br/>The jets will bolster Iran's ageing passenger fleet with the addition of 46 A320 planes for medium-haul routes, 38 long-haul A330s and 16 A350s, the European aircraft-maker said in a statement. <br/><br/>The deal does not include any of Airbus' flagship A380 airliners, the largest passenger plane in the world. In another deal earlier this month, Iran Air finalised a contract to buy 80 planes from Airbus' US competitor Boeing worth 16.6 billion US dollars.
