====Concorde order====
On 8 October 1972, Iran Air placed an order with [[British Aircraft Corporation]] for two [[Concorde|Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde]] [[supersonic aircraft|supersonic jet]]s plus an option for one, rendering it the last airline to place Concorde orders for commercial use.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.concordesst.com/history/orders.html |title=Orders|website= Concorde SST}}</ref> However, Iran Air – having had briefly chartered one Concorde jet on flights between Tehran and Paris – cancelled these orders in April 1980.
