Russian carrier Azimuth is to take delivery of another Sukhoi Superjet 100 before the end of this year.

The Rostov-based airline has 10 of the type in its fleet but has agreed with state lessor GTLK to introduce another in December.

This is in line with a fleet plan previously disclosed by the operator.

GTLK says the carrier will use the twinjet on services in the southern regions of the country.

Azimuth signed the deal at the Transport of Russia forum in Moscow.
