A total of 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100s will be delivered to Indonesia this year in a deal worth US$380 million.
Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Mikhail Galuzin confirmed that a deal had been signed between Indonesia’s Sky Aviation and Russia’s Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company.
He also mentioned the tragic Sukhoi SJ-100 demonstration crash that killed all 45 people on board last year.
Your comments:
In March 2012, the deputy chief engineer of the Department of Aviation and Technical Support of Aeroflot, revealed that Aeroflot was asking Sukhoi for compensation, since the six Superjet 100s it operates are in the air only 3.9 hours a day on average, instead of the standard 8 to 9 hours.
Breakdowns “... were caused by failures due to technical problems and delayed delivery of parts.”
