The aircrafts Sukhoi Super Jet 100 won’t be received by Aeroflot Air Company till the end of the current year. The delivery schedule is being established. The aircraft was to be supplied in December, 2009, but now it is not clear, when it happens.
      
      According to the sources, the supplier can not complete the procedure of full certification of the air vehicle, more properly, the certification of the motor. It can be certified only partly by the end of the year. The motor SaM146 was created for SSJ-100 by the Russian company Saturn and the French one, Snecma.
      
      The experimental exemplar of the SSJ-100 aircraft was demonstrated to the public in 2007 and tested in 2008.
      
      If you have an aerophobia or simply don’t like the planes, we can offer you the Train Tickets Service.

Ahmed Sultan, ITC :
It seems that the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 got infected with the “delay” virus from its fetal friend B787. Mr. Michael Bagdasarov of Armavia is right on his comment as the delay might be a strategic operational advantage for Armavia since there is no current high demand for more aircraft, and practically till the time again for the summer schedule. In fact, B787 is not only a friend of Sukhoi SuperJet 100 considering the fact that there is an agreement between Sukhoi and Boeing since 19th of December 2002. The affiliation with Boeing may be the actual source of infection.
