CityJet expects to firm SSJ options
CityJet is expecting to firm half of its 16 Sukhoi Superjet 100 options in 2018, after becoming the European launch operator of the type in June. CityJet is leasing 15 SSJs and has options on an additional 16. The airline received the first of these in June, the second in July and a third aircraft will be delivered over the next 2 weeks. After this, CityJet will take deliveries every 2 months, taking it to 8 aircraft by June 2017. “We will certainly look at our options in 2018. It is impossible to say how many we will go for, but I am reasonably confident that it will be 50% of our 16 options in that [2-year] timeframe,” CityJet executive chairman Pat Byrne said. He added that the exact number firmed will depend on how quickly CityJet’s business develops, particularly in wet lease. <br/>
