SuperJet International: Aftersales Support L.o.I. for Armavia Airlines
SSJ100 fleet
ZHUKOVSKY, Russia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SuperJet International announced
the execution of a Letter of Intent (L.o.I.) with Armenian carrier
Armavia Airlines for the After Sales Support of its fleet of new
Sukhoi SuperJet 100 aircraft.
With this L.o.I, SuperJet International and Armavia confirm their
intentions to execute a `SuperCare' Agreement by the end of November
2009, for a duration of 5 years and possibility to extend.
The `SuperCare' Agreement is a comprehensive `pay-by-the-hour' program
developed by SJI specifically for the SSJ100 aircraft. This innovative
lifecycle solution has been designed to maximize aircraft availability
to operators and minimize their maintenance and administrative
associated costs.
In particular, Armavia will take advantage of customized spares
availability and `single interface' maintenance/repair solutions of
on-board equipments.

the launch of the SuperJet International's proprietary `SuperCare
Plan'' - said Giovanni Simonetti, Senior Vice President of Customers
Services for SuperJet International - `Since its Entry into Service,
Armavia SSJ100 fleet will be supported by SJI with this tailored and
newly conceived Aftersales package.'

beneficial relationship with SuperJet International by joining its
SuperCare Plan since day one of entry into service of our brand new
fleet of SSJ100' - said Mr. Norayr Shakratovich Belluyan, General
Director of Armavia - `We consider such a `per flight hour' program
the right solution to boost our aircraft availability while optimizing
costs.'

About Sukhoi SuperJet 100
Designed, developed and built by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC),
the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 family is comprised of 78- and 98-seaters in
basic (SSJ100/95B and SSJ100/75B) and long-range (SSJ100/95LR and
SSJ100/75LR) configuration. The SSJ100 is the most advanced and
environmentally friendly new generation regional jet. Superior
technical and operational characteristics make SSJ100 a fully
marketable and competitive product - cost-effective, easy to operate
and maintain. SSJ100 is a conceptually new platform designed
specifically for a 100-seat segment offering the most efficient
combination of regional efficiency with mainline capabilities.
The first SSJ100 was rolled out from SCAC's final assembly shop at
Komsomolsk-on Amur on September 26, 2007. First flight was
successfully accomplished last May 19, 2008. With three aircraft in
the air since July 25, 2009, the programme has scored about 300
flights spending 800 hours in the sky. The certification plan calls
for Russia civil certification by November 2009, followed by EASA
certification in 2010 and FAA certification thereafter.
