EASA approves Sukhoi SSJ100LR
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft has obtained approval from EASA for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 Long Range (SSJ100LR), which has 50% more range than the basic version. The type certificate changes provide for the increase in take-off weight and flight range. “This approval will make it possible for foreign customers to purchase the aircraft with a flight range of up to 4,578 km, along with the previously available aircraft with flight range of 3,048 km,” SCAC said. Moscow-based Gazpromavia, Yakutsk-based Yakutia and Salekhard-based Yamal airlines operate aircraft with the increased flight range. Sukhoi said the SSJ100LR performance allows foreign customers to have a more flexible approach to their route network development. The SSJ100LR has been operated in Russia since 2014 and makes up a 25% of Sukhoi’s delivery volume. <br/>
