SEP 22, 2005 (newstodate): The outcome of Aeroflot's order to Airbus for the delivery of nine A321 aircraft on a lease arrangement remains in the balance.
According to industry sources, the aircraft were slated for delivery in 2006 and 2007, but doubt has been cast over the carrier's ability to shoulder the lease burden.
Other sources indicate a political rift over Russian airlines' preference to Western-built, rather than Russian commercial aircraft.
