| Summary/Abstract |
BREAKTHROUGHS are not too frequent in cooperation between Russia and countries in Southeast Asia. It is all the more gratifying to know that they still happen. A breakthrough made in July 2010 was in civil aviation when the Russian exhibitors at the Farnborough International Airshow won a string of major contracts and reached promising accords with customers in ASEAN. The Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (CJSC) sealed a deal with Indonesia's Kartika Airlines for the delivery of 30 SSJ100 airliners in 2012-2015 worth nearly $1 billion. Thailand's Orient Thai Airlines is planning to purchase 12 more similar Superjet-100 planes. In Farnborough, it signed a memorandum of intent to sign a deal with Sukhoi before the end of 2010. Among Sukhoi's customers, in addition to the above Indonesian company, is the Laotian Phongsavanh Airlines which placed an order for three Superjet-100 aircraft (delivery time, 2012).
