Aeroflot signed a deal with Boeing for 8 B777-300ERs.

Is this another order for 8? Because they already ordered 8 B777-300ERs earlier this year.

Must be a new order, since the Boeing order spreadsheet shows that order as being booked in February. This extra 8 makes sense, because the very first MOU (last year) was for 16 aircraft.

Aeroflot is indeed a new order, although it was most likely booked earlier this year as being for an Unidentified Customer.
