Iranian airlines have bought 13 narrow-body Boeing 737 aircraft in their latest move to rebuild the country’s commercial fleet, a news agency says. 

Two of the used aircraft, of the vintage 737-400 model, will fly in from a European country on Monday night, Fars quoted an informed as saying Sunday.

The two aircraft are the first of eight Boeing 737s bought by Nasim Air, a new airline based in the central city of Isfahan, the unnamed official said.

Caspian Airlines has purchased three others and Aseman Airlines another two of the 150-seat short- to medium-range jets.
