Italy to buy 'large numbers' of Russia's Superjet airliners - Putin
13:34 06/12/2010
Italy is ready to buy a significant number of Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100 medium-haul airliners, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday.
"
This is our first civil aircraft... which corresponds with the most recent civil aviation requirements,
and our Italian partners are now ready to buy them in quite large numbers,"
Putin said during a United Russia party congress in the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, accompanied by Putin and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, inspected a Superjet aircraft in Sochi last Friday. The plane arrived in the southern Russian city on a test flight from northern Siberia's Yakutsk.
Sukhoi has at least 122 firm orders for Superjet 100 airliners at the moment. The first aircraft are expected to be delivered to Armenia's national airline Armavia and Russia's flagship air carrier Aeroflot at the end of the year.
