Mar 28, 2011 (newstodate): Russian regional carriers will acquire from 30 to 70 Western manufactured regional aircraft in 2011.
Russian and Soviet manufactured regional aircraft still dominate the fleets of Russian airlines, where carriers currently operate around 400 regional aircraft seating for 20 to 70 passengers, according to Avia Solutions Group.
Only 59 of these aircraft, serving with five Russian airlines, are manufactured in the West, but with up to 70 new Western aircraft in 2011, their share of the Russian market could increase from 15 to up to 30 percent.
-The most promising candidates for fleet renewal are ATR42/72 and Bombardier Q300 turboprops, as well as Bombardier CRJ100/200 and Embraer 145 regional jets. The prices for these aircraft are less affected by market fluctuations, and their technical specifications are well suited for regional operators, says Alexey Ivanov, Avia Solutions Group's representative in Russia.
Lithuania's Avia Solutions Group has been active in the leasing arrangements for more than 25 of the 59 regional western-built aircraft
