Bombardier (BBD.B-T) is in negotiations about a deal with a prospective new airline serving the tourist island of Qeshm in southern Iran.

Bombardier chairman Pierre Beaudoin held talks with officials from the Qeshm Free Zone during a recent visit to Tehran, a spokesman for the district told Bloomberg. Bombardier confirmed that discussions in Iran are under way.

Bombardier makes a variety of aircraft models, spanning turboprops through regional jets to the C Series narrow-body designed to compete with short-haul planes from Boeing and Airbus.

Airbus has already secured a 118-jet, $27-billion (U.S.) sale to Iran, while Boeing started talks earlier this month.

A Bombardier spokesman said the company has "identified significant opportunities in the region with regards to the commercial aviation sector." Plane makers are targeting Iran as the country seeks to renew its aging aircraft fleet and modernize archaic infrastructure following January's lifting of economic sanctions imposed over the country's nuclear program. Qeshm Free Zone officials are keen to strike a deal with Bombardier in the next two months, the spokesman said.
