Bombardier officials have reportedly made two visits to Iran in the past six months to assess the business climate in anticipation of the post-sanctions world, according to CBC News. "We do have a commercial aircraft forecast and strategy team that's been taking into account significant opportunities in Iran," said Marianella Delabarrera, the communications manager for Bombardier's commercial aircraft division. Delabarrera said her company sees opportunities in the single-aisle regional jet and the longer range C Series plane, which would allow Iranian carriers to operate domestic routes and flights throughout the Middle East. New aircraft sales would help Bombardier, which received a $1-billion lifeline from the Quebec government last year. Iran's capital, Tehran, is also upgrading its rail services, and Bombardier's transportation division is also looking into that market.
