PARIS (AFX) - Russia's largest airline Aeroflot plans to buy 45 Airbus A320 medium-haul planes by 2010, chief executive Valery Okulov said, a few weeks after the company said it would not confirm an order for 22 Boeing planes.
'Between now and 2010 we intend to buy 45 additional A320 planes, and expand and renew our fleet of long-haul planes. We intend to acquire 40-45 long-haul planes,' Okulov told Russia's Ria Novosti in Vienna.
