AUG 13, 2004 (newstodate): As Russia's aircraft industry is unable to cope with the demands for new aircraft to the country's airlines, western aircraft are pouring in.
The crux of the issue is price as an imported second-hand aircraft may be priced at less than half of a new, Russian-built alternative.
Thus 12 Boeing 757 aircraft are by now through Russian customs readying for delivery to Russian operators while Russian-built aircraft fail to find domestic customers.
