SEATTLE --- Boeing and Russia's S7 Group today announced an order for 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and purchase rights for 10 additional 787s.

S7 Group subsidiary S7 Airlines will operate the Dreamliners. The 787s will replace S7's fleet of aging twin-aisle airplanes and provide capacity for growth. The order is valued at $ 2.4 billion at catalog prices.

At a press conference today in Moscow, S7 Airlines said the new 787s will allow the airline to increase frequencies and add new destinations domestically and internationally.

"The 787's size and superior range open up a wider choice of destinations that we can offer our customers," said Vladislav Filev, General Director, S7 Group. "Our vision is to give passengers the best flying experience available. The Dreamliner's innovative interior design and advanced comfort features embody that vision."

With today's announcement, S7 becomes the first Russian carrier to order the 787 Dreamliner. "We are very proud to launch the 787 today in the Russian market with a substantial order from this leading and fast-growing carrier," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales for Europe, Russia, Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "S7's drive for innovation and new-technology products like the 787 will help it strengthen its key role in the Russian airline market."

The 787 produces 20 percent fewer CO2 emissions and has a 60 percent smaller noise footprint on takeoff and landings than other airplanes in its size and range category.

Rollout and first flight of the 787 are scheduled for later this year, followed by entry into service in May 2008. Forty-five customers worldwide have placed 584 orders for the 787 since its launch in April 2004, making the Dreamliner the world's fastest-selling commercial airplane in history.

ST. PETERSBURG --- The Boeing Company and Sukhoi today signed an agreement to expand collaboration between the two companies. As a result of extended negotiations, Boeing will expand its advisory role on the Sukhoi regional jet program, known as the Superjet 100 (SSJ).

In 2002, before the Russian government designated Sukhoi as the leader of Russia's regional jet program, Sukhoi selected Boeing to serve as an advisor to Sukhoi and its program partners in the areas of program management, engineering, marketing, product development, certification, supplier management, and customer support.

Under the terms of today's agreement, Boeing will explore opportunities to assist Sukhoi in areas including, but not limited to:

- Flight and maintenance crew training
- Spare parts management and supply
- Guidance on production of flight and maintenance manuals that meet international standards

"This is an excellent example of Boeing's long-term commitment to cooperation with Russian industry," said Scott Carson, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Our work with Sukhoi on the Superjet 100 is a great opportunity to expand our 'working together' relationship."

"Boeing's expanded support to the Sukhoi Superjet program and especially the increased Boeing role in helping Sukhoi to create a world-class SSJ after-delivery support system will significantly increase business attractiveness of the SSJ airplanes to our domestic and foreign airline customers," said Mikhail Pogosyan, general director of the Sukhoi Company.

ST. PETERSBURG --- The Boeing Company and Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) today signed an agreement to identify opportunities to expand collaboration on commercial aviation activities, building upon Boeing's long history of cooperation with Russia's aerospace industry. As a result, the two companies will establish a joint working group to study a number of cooperation opportunities.

Under the terms of today's agreement, Boeing and UAC will explore opportunities including, but not limited to:

- Research and Development: Boeing and UAC will explore new technologies in commercial-airplanes structures, including finished titanium parts and structures.

- Manufacturing: Boeing and UAC will explore development opportunities to reduce cost and weight of airframe components and structures. Boeing and UAC also will look at opportunities to make Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Associations (KnAAPO), a company of the UAC, a qualified supplier of finished titanium parts and components.

- Design: Boeing and UAC will study the potential for establishing a strategic agreement among the Boeing Design Center in Moscow, the UAC and Russian private engineering services companies. The effort is aimed at utilizing engineering personnel and infrastructure, project and quality management and process improvements for Boeing projects.

- Marketing Research: Boeing and UAC will share perspectives on airplane market trends in Russia, the CIS and worldwide.


The agreement also enhances Boeing's role on the Superjet Program. In that role, Boeing currently advises Sukhoi in the areas of marketing, design, manufacturing, supplier management, certification and after-sales support. Boeing will expand its advisory role on after-sales support to the Superjet Program, enabling Sukhoi to establish its own after-sale support infrastructure.

"Both Boeing and United Aircraft Corporation are seeking to establish a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship," said Scott Carson, president and CEO, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "This underscores our long-term commitment to cooperation with Russian industry."

"Today's agreement is another step forward in the partnership between Russia's aerospace industry and Boeing," said Alexey Fedorov, president of the UAC. "Our work together over the years has resulted in tangible benefits. We look forward to evolving our partnership and bringing more value to our products."

Boeing has had a cooperative relationship with Russia since the era of the former Soviet Union. Since then, Boeing has worked closely with the Russian aerospace and IT industries, as well as with Russian airlines.

Since 1992 Boeing has operated its Technical Research Center in Moscow, where Russian aerospace engineers, scientists and technicians perform work under contract to Boeing programs in commercial airplanes, information technology and space systems. In 1998, the company established the Boeing Design Center in Moscow. Approximately 1,400 engineers from Russian companies work through the Center, performing work on all Boeing commercial airplane programs, including the 787 Dreamliner.

Boeing is one of the largest western partners for Russia in developing the export of Russian finished parts and intellectual services, including research and development, engineering and information technologies. In 2006, Boeing announced plans to establish a joint venture with Russian titanium supplier VSMPO to support the increased demand for titanium needed for the new 787.

Boeing also works with leading Russian aerospace companies on two ambitious programs - the International Space Station and Sea Launch, a heavy-lift commercial satellite-launch service. Boeing highly values Russia's intellectual resources, including skilled aerospace scientists and engineers, and its long history of aerospace expertise and innovation.
