To protect its economic interests at sea, Indonesia plans to purchase 8-15 Be-103 amphibian aircraft from Russia, said Boris Bergman, deputy general director of the Sukhoi Company, according to Aviation News from Russia on AVIA.RU on Dec. 10.
He said the Sukhoi Company arranged a presentation of Be-103 for the Indonesian Minister of Fishery and Sea Transport. Indonesia doesn't plan to use Be-103 for passenger carriage, but as a special-purpose aircraft, reports aeroinfo.com.cn.
He added that in the future Be-103 will be used in its special-purpose modification. A purchase of this aircraft may be repaid very quickly owing to its tangible economic effects where it operates in the interests of customs, forest protection and other special-purpose services.
According to Mr. Bergman, the Be-103 ideally fits Indonesia and other countries of Southeast Asia. He said the company will deliver 20 Be-103 aircraft to China. It also plans to sign a contract with Brazil for delivering eight of the aircraft.
