Mar 14, 2008 (newstodate): Russia's passenger aircraft fleet of 100 seats or more is expected to grow strongly from 528 aircraft in service in 2006 to nearly 950 by 2026, says Airbus in its latest global forecast.
Over the next 20 years, Russia will require more than 900 aircraft to meet demand for aircraft replacement as well as fleet growth.
These additional aircraft will include nearly 800 short haul, single-aisle aircraft and some 120 medium to long-range wide-body aircraft.
Today, 12 CIS airlines operate a total of 92 Airbus aircraft, including 68 aircraft in operation with five Russian carriers.
111 more aircraft will be delivered in the near future to the CIS.
In 2007, Airbus received firm orders from Aeroflot for 22 A350 XWB and five A321, S7 ordered 25 A320, Uzbekistan Airways six A320, and Ural Airlines seven A320.
In December 2007 Airbus also signed a MoU with Air Astana for delivery of six A320 aircraft.
