Looks like the Russians are really getting their act together, too. >> Sibir Lobbies U.K. for London Connection By Lyuba Pronina Staff Writer NOVOSIBIRSK, Western Siberia — No. 3 airline Sibir is angling to become the third Russian carrier with direct access to London. Sibir general director Vladislav Filyov met with British Ambassador to Russia Sir Roderic Lyne at Sibir's Novosibirsk headquarters on Thursday and urged him to help make traveling internationally easier for Siberians. "Today [our passengers] get to London via Frankfurt, but we could have a direct connection to England," Filyov said. "Novosibirsk is known enough in the world as a scientific center and we would be glad if you could help our citizens travel quicker around the world." . . . . Sibir's steady growth and operational acumen has gained the attention of foreign aircraft and engine makers. Joining the British ambassador on the trip was Rolls-Royce's chief Moscow representative Michael Blore, who is interested in seeing his company's engines power Sibir's Tu-204 craft that are currently powered by domestically produced PS-90A engines. Blore has been Rolls-Royce's pointman on its program to outfit Tu-204s since 1990, but so far just four Tu-204s are powered by Rolls-Royce engines — all in Egypt. Blore said it was premature to talk about concrete deals with Sibir, and that his visit was an exploratory one to "establish a business relationship." Moscow based aviation analyst Paul Duffy said that Rolls-Royce was likely trying to get its engines in the Tu-204 ahead of the plane's international certification, which would be a good marketing tool to use to convince Western financiers to fund the purchase of Tu-204s for Russian airlines. "Filyov also got a clear signal from the British ambassador that buying Rolls-Royce engines could facilitate getting the London route," Duffy said.<< themoscowtimes.com
