Russia's Transaero orders B747-8s, defers Sukhoi order

Transaero Airlines has converted an outstanding order with Boeing for four B787-8s into B747-8s with delivery scheduled to begin in 2015.
The arrival of the new B747s will bolster the airline's growing widebody fleet which, from next year until 2019, will see one A380-800 arrive each year replacing its outgoing fleet of twenty B747-400s.
