FNA- France's Ambassador to Tehran François Sénémaud announced that his country will deliver the second Airbus passenger plane to Iran in the near future.

"An Airbus plane has been delivered to Iran and we will send other planes soon too," Sénémaud said, addressing an international car exhibition in Tehran on Sunday.

He also expressed the hope that relations between Tehran and Paris would further expand.

On January 12, the first Airbus 'A321' landed at Tehran Mehrabad Airport and joined Iranian air fleet.

The aircraft was officially delivered to Iran Air by Airbus in a ceremony held in Toulouse.

Airbus Chief Executive Fabrice Bregier announced that with the delivery of the aircraft, cooperation between Iran Air and Airbus officially started, and said, "We hope with delivery of the aircraft, expansion of economic cooperation with Iran will continue more rapidly."

Iran Air officials say the plane will be used for domestic flights.

Iranian Road and Urban Development Minister Abbas Akhoundi declared earlier this month that two other Airbus passenger planes will join Iran Air, the country's national flag carrier, within the next four weeks.

"We have good news that two more passenger planes will join Iran Air's passenger plane fleet," Akhoundi said.

The Iranian road and urban development minister did not mention the details of the passenger planes.

Akhoundi, meantime, said that his ministry is planning to improve the conditions of the country's railway and maritime transportation.
