Russia’s STLC orders L-410s, to lease SSJ100s

Russia’s State Transport Leasing (STLC) has placed an order for five Let L-410 aircraft with Russia’s Ural Works of Civil Aviation (UWCA), in a deal valued at RUB2 billion ($30.7m) at list prices. Half of the sum will be subsidized. The Russian government announced in June it was ready to develop L-410 manufacturing at UWCA. Originally the aircraft type was assembled at Kunovice-based Czech Aircraft Industries, formerly known as Let, which was bought by Russia’s industrial holding company, Ural Mining and Metallurgical Co. Earlier this week, UWCA said it gained Russian certification, giving it the go-ahead to begin manufacturing the L-410s. STLC also said it signed a firm order with Yamal Airlines to lease 13 Sukhoi Superjet 100s (SSJ100s). The deal is part an order for 25 SSJ100s that was announced in August 2015.<br/>
