Will the SuperJet 100 (SSJ 100) finally take off again commercially?This is one of the major questions of the Moscow Air Show (MAKS), which opened its doors on Tuesday, will focus on the SuperJet 100, the regional transport aircraft (75 to 95 seats) from the famous Russian manufacturer Sukhoi ( Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company - SCAC).More than 770 companies participate in MAKS, of which 140 come from 30 foreign countries.On the occasion of the Moscow show, Russian companies could once again come to its aid to bring new commercial impetus to this program in which Russian President Vladimir Putin has invested a great deal.This is already the case for the first Russian airline, Aeroflot, which announced on Tuesday that it had placed a firm order for 20 additional SSJ 100s for an amount of 702 million dollars."Aeroflot, VEB Leasing and the Unified Aeronautical Corporation (UAC, Russian public aeronautical holding) have signed a firm contract for the delivery of 20 additional Sukhoi Superjet 100s", announced in a press release the Russian company, which already operates 30 SuperJets.According to our information, there is strong pressure on Russian companies to buy the SuperJet 100, commissioned in 2011. "There is a commercial dynamic in Russia", we explain modestly to La Grandstand.Apart from Russia and the satellite countries, SCAC would have prospects in several regions of the world, in particular in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.In Europe, only the Irish airline Cityjet has taken the plunge by ordering 15 aircraft, of which six are in service (three for Cityjet and 3 for Brussels Airlines).While more than 120 SuperJets are in service around the world, mainly in Russia, manufacturers are counting on a production rate of 35 aircraft per year in 2017, then in 2018 (compared to 26 in 2016 and 25 in 2015).“The program is ramping up,” we assure La Tribune.But with the exception of the Mexican company Interjet (30 aircraft in 2011) and CityJet, the SSJ 100 has not yet attracted major European, Asian and North American companies.To date, the Russian manufacturer has posted more than 270 firm orders (excluding cancellations).However, this plane is safe, assures Safran.The level of operational reliability of the SaM 146 engine amounts to "99.9%, the same as that of the best-selling CFM-56", Olivier Andriès said in 2016 to the Tribune.The SaM 146 consumes less kerosene than other engines in its class."It burns 10% less fuel," assured the CEO of Safran Aircraft Engines.Performances that should eventually convince new companies.From Monday to Friday, at 1 p.m., receive the essential news from the industry and service sectorsLast step: confirm your registration in the email you have just received.Remember to check your junk mail.See you very soon on the La Tribune website and in our newsletters, La Tribune editorial staff.See you very soon on the La Tribune website and in our newsletters, La Tribune editorial staff.Discover all of La Tribune's newsletters The editorial staff of La TribuneAn email containing your login information has been sent.See you very soon on the La Tribune website and in our newsletters, La Tribune editorial staff.Subscribe to the Industry & Services newsletterHypersonic: the resounding slap from Brussels to France and MBDAF-35: the fabulous order of the Pentagon (30 billion dollars) puts Lockheed Martin back on its feetElectricity prices: the forced passage of deputies will not prevent bills from explodingThe Semiconductor Shortage Seems to Be Closing: Why That's Not Necessarily Good News"Putin threw Europe into the American arms of NATO and the Americans threw Putin into those of the Chinese" (Pascal Lamy)“Putin threw Europe into the American arms of NATO and the Americans threw Putin into those of the Chinese” (Pascal Lamy) (28)Electricity prices: the forced passage of deputies will not prevent bills from exploding (25)The government wants to toughen the hunt for waste for air conditioning and advertising (24)To get rid of Russian gas, Germany is considering extending its nuclear power plants (24)Russian missiles fall on the port of Odessa, vital for exporting cereals (18)To be alerted by email of a reaction to this comment, please enter your email address below:Your email will not be displayed publicly.All fields are mandatory.Thank you for your comment.It will be visible soon subject to validation.With La Tribune.fr, make the right decisions
