The third airbus passenger plane, purchased from the French company following the removal of western sanctions against the Islamic republic, has landed in the capital Tehran, Press TV reported on Sunday.

The Airbus A330 landed at Mehrabad International Airport on Saturday morning.

It joined another A330 and a smaller A321 delivered to Iran in March and January this year as Iran's brand-new planes in over 37 years.

The delivery of the planes takes place within a batch of 100 jets purchased by Iran Air recently to renew its aged passenger fleet.
