Russia's Rosavia delays $2.5 bln plane deal


MOSCOW, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Russia's new state-run airline Rosavia has delayed announcing results of its $2.5 billion tender to buy 65 planes as it needs time to review additional offers from sellers, its main shareholder said on Thursday.
"We have received additional offers from the tender participants and have taken a break," a spokesman for state conglomerate Russian Technologies told Reuters.
In August, Russian Technologies said Rosavia had solicited offers from Boeing (BA.N) and Airbus (EAD.PA) for the 65 narrowbody planes it plans to buy in the next few years. [ID:nLJ649955]
