Russia is planning to export 10 more Tu-204-120-S planes, powered with Rolls-Royce engines, to China, a Russian government source said Wednesday.
"We can do this under the contract to export five Tu-204-120-S planes to China, signed in 2001, and the issue is likely to be negotiated during Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov's visit to China beginning on November 3," the source was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying.
According to the source, all financial procedures of the deal on exporting five planes to China have been done.
The first plane is expected to be delivered to China in September 2006 and the second one in December, followed by the third, forth and fifth in 2007, the source said.
Russia is interested in using the contract to deliver 10 more Tu-204-120-S airplanes with Rolls-Royce engines to China, the source noted.
