Sukhoi Superjet 100

White says the airline looked at a “number of types” before committing to the type, including Embraer’s E-Jets and the Boeing 737. “The overwhelming advantage the Superjet has in terms of passenger comfort with its wide cabin was a real driver,” he says. “On top of that, the performance of the long-range model, which suits Antwerp’s short runway, is a game-changer for us.”

SSJ100 deliveries to VLM in 3Q 2016: clarification of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company

Following consultations between Ilyushin Finance Co, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company and Belgian airline VLM Airlines, under the previously signed Letter of Intent, the parties agreed to postpone for the third quarter of 2016 deliveries of Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft due to the need of certification of the aircraft additional specifications, expanding its capabilities.

By the end of 2015 Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company, the designer of the Sukhoi Superjet 100, plans to certify the long range version of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, requested by VLM Airlines, in EASA. EASA certification is required for the launch of operations of this SSJ100 modification by the airline with an airworthiness certificate issued by the Belgian aviation authorities.

In addition, the designer of the SSJ100 will continue to work on the implementation and certification of the technical solutions for the aircraft, meeting the customer needs. It is expected that a set of measures to enhance the SSJ100 aircraft can be implemented in 2016.

Russian and Chinese parties have tentatively agreed to establish a new leasing company for Sukhoi Superjet 100s which aims to build a fleet of 100 aircraft and focus on sales to Asia.

The leasing company will be based in the Xixian in Shaanxi province.

It is the subject of a four-way framework agreement between United Aircraft, Chinese company New Century International Leasing, plus a Russian-Chinese investment fund and Xixian’s local management committee.

United Aircraft says that, under the pact, the joint lessor will acquire 100 Superjets worth $3 billion – more than twice the number of delivered airframes – over a three-year period.

The local Chinese administration will support the plan by providing land on which to set up the required infrastructure for operating and maintaining the type.

This infrastructure will include a flight-training and servicing centre, spares warehouses and possible interior fitting and painting facilities.

United Aircraft president Yuri Slyusar says that the agreement has resulted from efforts to “rethink the approach” to marketing the Superjet internationally.

He says that the agreement, which has been reached quickly, will strengthen the prospects for the Russian domestic civil aviation industry.

Slyusar adds that the venture will result in a “highly-competitive” leasing operation allowing the Superjet to take a “significant share” of rapidly-developing aviation markets in China and south-east Asia.
