The saga stemmed from an order made with Boeing in 2007. Aeroflot wanted the planes to upgrade its existing widebody fleet, as well as provide for fleet growth to meet the anticipated increased demand for air travel.
"The 787 is an excellent match for many of our requirements thanks to its efficiency, operational performance, and passenger comfort. The 787 will open new market opportunities as we further modernize our fleet and expand our international reach," said Valery Okulov, Aeroflot general director at the time.
