Russia's UTAir has today struck an agreement for 40 Boeing 737-800/900s at the Paris air show.

The Russian carrier is to purchase 33 Boeing 737-800s and seven 737-900ERs.

Existing Boeing customer UTAir earlier this year became the first Russian operator to fly 737-800s with the enhanced Boeing Sky Interior and will increase its 737-800 fleet to nine by the end of the year.
