TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Kish Air is talking to Airbus (>> Airbus Group) about buying six of its A321 jets and is also studying possible purchases from Brazil's Embraer
"We are talking to Airbus about six A321s. Our goal is 10 of them," Kish Air CEO Sadat Akhavi said. The airline is also interested in aircraft from Brazil's Embraer, he added, speaking on the sidelines of an aviation conference in Tehran.
The aircraft would be financed by selling them onto leasing companies and renting them back, he said, referring to a common form of aircraft funding.
