Russia's flagship air carrier Aeroflot has increased its order for Sukhoi Superjet-100 medium-haul airliners to 40 from 30, Aeroflot General Director Vitaly Savelyev said on Thursday.
"We expect to get the planes next year. We have even increased our order and are now eager to buy about 40 airliners instead of 30," Savelyev told Rossiya 24 TV channel.
Sukhoi Company has said that it will supply Aeroflot with the first of the planes in March 2011, three months after the original due delivery date. Sukhoi Company has currently 150 firm orders for Sukhoi Superjet-100 airliners.
