Aeroflot getting 100 more 100 Sukhoi Superjets

Aeroflot has struck a deal covering a further 100 Sukhoi Superjet, the jets will adhere to a two-class layout, with 12 seats in business class and 75 in economy.

The pact was signed by Aeroflot chief executive Vitaly Saveliev and Yury Slyusar, president of SCAC's parent United Aircraft, during a ceremony at the Eastern Economic Forum taking place in Vladivostok.

SCAC says the contract will be completed upon "finalising of all the essential terms" and its corporate approval.

Slyusar states that as the launch customer and operator of the largest Superjet 100 fleet, Aeroflot "greatly" influenced the project, adding that the latest agreement is a "new page in this collaboration".
