Syrian Air, the country's state-run carrier, plans to buy 50 planes from Airbus SAS as part of a move to modernise its fleet, the Daily Star in Beirut reported.   The carrier presently has an 18-plane fleet. The airline would lease four planes in the next 18 months and take delivery of the first 14 Airbus airliners from 2010 to 2018 and a further 36 by 2028.   Syria's economy expanded by more than six percent last year, and President Bashar Assad forecast in June that growth in 2008 would reach 6.6 percent.   CargonewsAsia
