Aeroflot is gearing up to purchase 11 new A330-300 frames, all to be delivered in 2011-13.
This will increase their A330 series fleet to 20 (a mix of A330-200 and A330-300 series aircraft), which will hopefully tide them over until the A350XWB’s begin delivery.
For those who are still asleep, the A330 is a twin-engined widebody aircraft capable of 335 seats (2-class) or
295 seats (3-class) over a range of 6,730 miles when fully loaded (and a particular favourite of GhettoIFE.com).
It’s an increasing sign that the Airline industry is starting to get more confident in the recovery and are preparing for the long term future, and will also secure more jobs along the line.
