Aeroflot signs letter of intent for delivery of almost 340 planes

During the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) on Wednesday, Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation and Aeroflot Group signed a letter of intent for delivery of 339 planes until 2030, a TASS correspondent reported from the signing ceremony.

The agreement envisages the delivery of 210 MS-21 planes, 89 SSJ New planes and 40 Tu-214 planes.

The deliveries are expected to begin in 2023, when the Russian flagship air carrier would get the first two SSJ New aircraft. Six MS-21 and seven Tu-214 planes are due for delivery the following year, the Russian Industry and Trade Ministry said in a statement.

First solid contracts with Aeroflot as part of the deal are planned for 2023-2025.

Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov said the overall value of the deal would exceed 1 trillion rubles.

"A contract for the delivery of over 300 planes of various types, <…> a contract worth over 1 trillion rubles, this is unprecedented," he said.
