Russia’s Sukhoi Civil Aircraft plans to sign a contract on Friday to
sell two SuperJet 100 planes to Armenian airline Armavia, a spokesman
for Sukhoi Civil Aircraft told Prime-Tass Thursday.

Armavia is also expected to acquire an option to buy another two
SuperJet 100s, the spokesman said.

Sukhoi Civil Aircraft is developing the SuperJet 100 regional aircraft
jointly with U.S. aircraft producer Boeing. The first test flight
of the SuperJet 100 is expected to take place before the end of this
year and mass production is expected to start in 2008.

Sukhoil Civil Aircraft is a subsidiary of Russian aircraft maker
Sukhoi, which is in turn controlled by the United Aircraft Building
Corporation (UAC).
