The supplies of Russia's first Sukhoi Superjet-100s have been
shelved for indefinite time, Alexei Fedorov, chief of United Aircraft
Corporation, or UAC, said. The reason is the delayed certification
testing of the jets. It was put off till April, 2008, instead of the
scheduled end of 2007.
The first Sukhoi Superjet-100s were to be supplied in late 2008 -
Aeroflot was to get them at the end of 2008. The new deadline hasn't
been fixed yet. It will be determined once the tests are completed,
A.Fedorov said.
In April, 2006, Sukhoi Civil Airlines that is a member of UAC entered
into a contract with Aeroflot for delivery of 30 new jets and the
optional delivery of another 15 jets. No penalty is expected, Fedorov
specified, explaining that the contract with Russia's airlines provides
for certain delay.
Of all foreign states, Armenia will be the first to obtain Sukhoi
SuperJet-100s. Russia and Armenia clinched the deal worth over USD
50 million in September, 2007. Under the contract, Armenia will get
two Sukhoi Superjet- 100s in 2008.
Sukhoi holding is developing the 100s together with a few foreign
companies, including Italian Alenia Aeronautica and U.S. Boeing. It
emerged in March, 2007, that Sukhoi intends to make 1,800 Sukhoi
Superjet-100s, exporting a portion of them overseas. In Russia, the
new jet will replace obsolete Tu-134. The portfolio includes orders
for 73 Sukhoi SuperJet-100s.
