State-owned Russian Technologies has picked Boeing Co (BA.N) in a tender to supply planes to Russia, the company said in a statement.

"In the near future Russian Technologies in cooperation with Aeroflot will issue specific orders for specific models," Russian Technologies said in a statement posted on its website (www.rostechnologii.ru).

Earlier Russian Technologies said that the tender — among Boeing, Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation and Airbus – was for 50 planes with an option for 15 more.

Russian Technologies and the nation’s flagship carrier Aeroflot signed a partnership agreement in April.
