Armenia will be the first foreign state, where Russia will supply new
Sukhoi SuperJet-100s, RIA Novosti reported February 6 with reference
to RF Transport Minister Igor Levitin.

"The first jets will go to Aeroflot, while the first order from
foreign airlines will [be executed] for Armenia," Levitin told the
reporters. In addition to the transport minister’s office, Igor
Levitin co-chairs the bilateral intergovernmental committee for
economic cooperation.

The matter at stake, Levitin reminded, is the supplies of two jets
to Armenian Armavia in 2008. The contract worth over $50 million was
made in September of 2007.
