Beriev restarts Be-200 production

Russian manufacturer Beriev has restarted manufacturing of its Be-200 amphibian twinjet, with the initial example set to roll off the production line in 2013.
Beriev has 12 firm orders for the Be-200. Six are destined for Russia's emergencies ministry, which already operates the type, with its defence ministry due to take the remainder.
Beriev and the defence ministry is negotiating a follow-on order, likely to be far larger than its previous commitment, as the country's navy looks to build its amphibian capability.
China is also looking to finalise an order for both the Be-200 and the smaller Be-103 with the latter likely to be assembled locally.
