Airbus has won an order worth more than EUR€2 billion (USD$2.5 billion) to deliver A330 planes to Russian airline Aeroflot, a source familiar with the deal said on Thursday.

"Aeroflot has made the order already a few days ago," the source said.

EADS would not comment while Aeroflot was not available for comment.

Aeroflot chief executive Vitaly Savelyev had already said in a TV interview last weekend that the company expected to acquire 22 Boeing 787s and 22 Airbus A350s by 2016 in a move to expand its fleet.
