Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin met Aeroflot CEO Sergey Aleksandrovsky. According to Kommersant, the executive said the carrier is ready to step up purchases of domestically built aircraft, aiming for 200 MS-21 jets in its fleet.
A separate report by AKM.RU, picked up by Google News, says Aeroflot has increased its domestic aircraft order to 200 planes. Both accounts rest on short summaries, and the exact date of the announcement is not stated.
Prices, delivery schedules, financing arrangements and other contract conditions have not been disclosed. It is also unclear whether the 200 figure is a binding order or only a fleet target.
A bigger commitment to domestic aircraft could push up Aeroflot's investment outlays and the cost of running its fleet over time, while giving the MS-21 programme a larger book of committed orders. The effect on the shares will depend on how the purchases are financed and how quickly the aircraft arrive.
