Russian Companies Take Major Share of Contracts at Farnborough Air Show


26.07.2010

The International Air Show in the British city of Farnborough, held once in two years, concluded on Sunday. The event demonstrated that the civil aviation industry is on the rebound, ITAR-TASS reports.

The gradual emergence of the global economy from the crisis helps to raise the demand for passenger air traffic. Show sponsors reported that over 800 rounds of talks with the participation of 150 companies that concluded contracts for a total sum of 47 billion US dollars, were held at the air show over one week of its work.

More than 10 billion dollars in contracts went to Russian companies. For instance the Sukhoi Corporation won 161 orders for the delivery to its partners of its passenger airliner Sukhoi Superjet over the first three days of the air show. Great popularity was also enjoyed by Russian medium distance MS-21 jetliner whose deliveries are made by the Irkut Corporation.
