Tupolev Tu-204

The Tu-204 above is the third built - the two earlier are converted to either Tu-234 or Tu-204-200. The delivery to Aeroflot was hampered because of the problems with PS90A engines. Some aircraft were put into trial service by Vnokovo Airlines and Arel Avia in 1994. It took another three years before all problems with the PS90A sorted out. The Tu-204-100 above still is in service by Aeroflot Russian Airlines, and has the registration RA-64003 (64003 is also the serial number of that aircraft).
