Sukhoi, Armavia deadlocked over SuperJet
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft is considering filing a lawsuit against Armavia
in a bid to recover debts for the two Sukhoi SuperJet 100 (SSJ-100)
aircraft ordered by the Armenian airline, RBC Daily reported today.
Two Armavia SSJ-100s are currently grounded at Sukhoi Civil Aircraft's
test facility in the Moscow Region airport of Zhukovsky, where they
are scheduled to undergo maintenance works, but Armavia has yet to pay
for them, Sukhoi's Vice President Yevgeny Konkov said without
elaborating on the size of the debt, adding that Sukhoi could not
confiscate the aircraft, since are being held under pledged by an
Armenian bank.
Moreover, state-owned VEB offered to refinance Armavia's debt through
an eight-year 40m loan, but Armavia rejected the deal in early August,
claiming that it wants to return the two planes and that it had no
outstanding obligations to Sukhoi.
