SEP 21, 2005 (newstodate): As expected, the Aeroflot board voted in favour of ordering six new IL-96-300 aircraft despite the aircraft currently tainted image.
The aircraft will be taken on a 15 years lease agreement with Ilyushin Finance Co.
Aeroflot has, however, demanded official guarantees from the developers, producers and leasing company that the new aircraft of this series do not suffer from the manufacturing defects that has grounded the current fleet of six IL-96 aircraft since August 22.
