Sukhoi Superjet 100 the first month in revenue service at Armavia
fleet: 66 flights for the overall distance of 85800km performed. 2885
people became SSJ100 passengers.
On April, 21 2011, Sukhoi Superjet 100 performed its first
commercial flight in "Armavia" fleet. The aircraft was put into
operation in an extremely short period of time - in two days after
the official delivery to the launch customer on April, 19 2011. The
route of the first passenger flight with 96 passengers aboard was
Yerevan-Moscow(Sheremetyevo)-Yerevan.
During the past month the aircraft has made 66 flights in total. All
flights were performed at 35000 - 39000ft altitude, at the speed of
0.78-0.8 M. Smooth and regular aircraft operation is the result of
the perfect job done by highly professional "Armavia" team supported
by the manufacturer of the aircraft.
SSJ100 performs flights to Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Odessa,
Donetsk, Simferopol, Larnaka (Greece), Aleppo (Syria), Venice (Italy),
Teheran (Iran), Rome (Italy), Tel-Aviv (Israel), Beirut (Lebanon),
Lion (France).
The aircraft spent more than 168 hours in flight, took more than 2885
passengers to total distance of 85800 km. No failure having impact on
the airworthiness was registered during the whole period of operation.
"SSJ100 perfectly fits "Armavia" fleet, containing mostly CRJ200,
A319 and A320 aircraft. Owing to high economic efficiency and good
operational capabilities we can schedule the aircraft both to regional
and to short-haul routes - basing on current passenger load per each
flight," stressed the owner of "Armavia" Mikhail Bagdasarov.
"It is a great aircraft and it allows intensive operation already at
entry into service. Both crew and passengers receive only positive
impressions. The aircraft is easy and comfortable to control, the
cockpit is quiet and allows effortless communication between pilots.
The cabin is spacious and comfortable too, the passengers do not have
any difficulties while boarding or placing their baggage. Wide aisles
provide the opportunity to serve food and beverages with maximum
comfort even during short flights. The passengers can easily pass
the flight attendant by while he is serving," adds SSJ100 Crew Chief
Sergey Kharatyan.

Most Recent 60 Days the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is a 100 seat regional
jet. A further 115-120 seat variant is under study. The SSJ100 is the
most advanced and environmentally friendly new generation regional
jet. The first SSJ100 was rolled out from SCAC's final assembly
shop at Komsomolsk-on Amur on September 26th 2007. First flight was
successfully accomplished on May 19th 2008.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 cruises at a Maximum Operating Speed of Mach
0.81 and 40.000 feet. It takes off from a 1.731 meters runway in the
basic range and 2.052 meters in the long range. The operating range for
the basic version is 3.048 km and 4.578 km for the long range version.
The certification campaign was accomplished with four prototypes for
flight testing and two prototypes for static and fatigue trials. The
tests show that the aircraft meets all certification requirements.
In February 2011, the SSJ100 obtained the Type Certificate by the
Russian Certification Authority IAC AR. The aircraft is ready for the
entry into service and it is authorized to start commercial operation.
The first SSJ 100 aircraft was delivered to Armavia on April 19,
2011 and entered into commercial operation on April 21,2011.
The EASA certification is expected in the end of 2011. / Sukhoi
