AUG 10, 2005 (newstodate): As Russian aircraft are in sparse supply, airlines including Aeroflot are taking in a number of Tupolev aircraft formerly operated by Chinese airlines, to cope with increasing market demands.
Aeroflot is thus operating ex-Chinese TU-154 aircraft, but even if the technical conditions of the individual second-hand aircraft are well documented and satisfactory, operational and crew costs are high as aircraft passenger configurations, galleys and other infrastructures are highly incompatible and little standardised, sources say.
