Russian flag carrier Aeroflot has committed to acquiring an additional batch of 10 Sukhoi Superjet regional airliners from the leasing arm of state-owned Sberbank.

The airline's freshly signed agreement with Sberbank has been outlined via the Zakupki public procurement website.

It shows that the 10 aircraft will be taken under 12-year financial leases.

The aircraft are additional to the 30 Superjets that Aeroflot ordered from Sukhoi in 2005.

Since June 2011, the SkyTeam airline has received 29 of these. It expects to take delivery of the 30th shortly.

Sberbank funded leases of 20 Superjets, while VEB Leasing supplied the rest.
