Nov 20, 2006 (newstodate): Aeroflot has been granted a new deadline to confirm the slots for 22 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
With the new US support for Russia's admission into the WTO, granted at the personal meetings between the US and Russian presidents in Vietnam, Boeing's chances for landing the long-awaited and prestigeous order have risen, and the deadline by November 1 has now been extended into early December, leaving time for the Russian government to authorise Aeroflot to sign a formal order with Boeing.
