World Business Briefing | Europe: Russia: Aeroflot To Buy Airbus PlanesThe Russian flag carrier Aeroflot will acquire 22 A350 Airbus wide-body jets and Qatar Airways is in talks with Airbus on a purchase of 80 A350s, the airlines said. Aeroflot also could soon sign a contract to buy 10 to 15 smaller A330s as part of a major upgrade of its fleet, a spokeswoman, Irina Dannenberg, said. Delivery of the A330s would begin by the end of 2008, while the A350s would be delivered starting in 2015, Ms. Dannenberg said. A final contract for both models will be signed in coming weeks. She declined to say how much the deal would be worth. A major A350 sale would help Airbus at a difficult time.
