OCT 27, 2004 (newstodate): Aeroflot's board has agreed to a major aircraft deal to renovate the airline's ageing fleet.
Aeroflot is now authorised to purchase three Airbus A321 instead of two A319 planes and one A320. The airline will take the aircraft on a lease contract.
-The advantages of purchasing A321 planes for Aeroflot are their large capacity as compared with A319 and A320, air fleet consistency with the route system, growing revenues from passengers and freight transportation, and lower operating costs per seat-kilometer, says the airline in a release.
Aeroflot expects the deal to pay off in operating income increase from the beginning of 2005 already.
