Russian Aircraft Manufacture Secures Contract with US Firm
Sep 3, 2010
SuperJet International – a joint venture between Alenia Aeronautica (a Finmeccanica company) and Sukhoi Holding – and the US leasing company Willis Lease Finance Corporation signed today a memorandum of understanding for the purchase of 6 Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) aircraft plus 4 options, for an estimated value up to US $300 million.
The first delivery of these LR aircraft in the 98-seat configuration is scheduled for September 2012.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 program is an important industrial partnership between Europe and the Russian Federation in the civil aviation sector, the aircraft maker said. “The aircraft is currently the best choice in the 100-seat aircraft segment because of its outstanding characteristics in terms of fuel consumption, low environmental impact, reduced maintenance costs and top passenger comfort,” SuperJet International said in a statement.
