Paris, June, 15, 2005 (AFX)
Safran SA said it will receive a 140 mln eur loan from
the French state in order to develop a new engine planned
for the Russian Regional Jet programme being developed
by Sukhoi.
The agreement was signed by Safran officials and Transport
Minister Dominique Perben at the Paris Air Show, and
confirms a pledge made by the government in December.
The French state owns a 31.3 pct stake in Safran, formed
earlier this year by the merger of state-owned aerospace
engine group Snecma and electronics group Sagem.
