Sberbank, Russia’s biggest lender, has signed a $1b deal to buy 12 Next-Generation 737-800 airliners from Boeing to be supplied to Russian airline Transaero under Russia’s first-ever agreement on the operational leasing of imported aircraft.
Sberbank will provide its operational leasing customers with “modern, world-class finance solutions”, the bank and the U.S. aircraft industry giant said in a joint statement.
The Boeing 737-800 is one of the best-selling versions of the Next-Generation 737 family. It seats 162 or 189 passengers depending on the version and is the chief rival of the Airbus A320.
The jetliners are to be bought from Boeing by Sberbank and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sberbank Leasing.
Transaero is one of Sberbank’s key customers.
