Boeing aircraft sales
I just have to ask questions of the people who think an aircraft that is just weeks old should be abandoned on an airfield in Iran.
How do you expect Boeing to sell aircraft if the aircraft can’t be fixed when it lands someplace the USA has a problem with ?
Do you think any US administration will damage a major US company by imposing such conditions ?
What is the point of leaving a whole new aircraft in Iran for the locals to examine and gain industrial knowledge when the alternative is for a Norwegian mantanance crew to show up with a new engine, fix the aircraft and pack the whole show up and go home leaving nothing for the Iranians to look at ?
Given the above facts why would the US govenment not issue an export licence to enable the parts to be exported to Norway and fitted to he aircraft in Iran ? otherwise you have just exported a whole aircraft to Iran !
