Russia’s S7 Group agrees to buy Sukhoi’s new SSJ75 aircraft
Russia’s S7 Group has signed a letter of intent with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC) for 50 Sukhoi Superjet 75 (SSJ75) aircraft, plus 25 options. The new aircraft design, which SCAC announced in February, is a 75-seat modification of the SSJ100. The LOI makes S7 the launch customer for the new version. SCAC expects to deliver a design proposal to the carrier by year-end. If the LOI is firmed, deliveries should start in 2022. SCAC estimates demand for the SSJ75 in Russia could reach 200-300 aircraft; global demand for the type is expected to be up to 3,000 aircraft. "Together with the size optimisation it is planned to reduce the weight of the structural weight up to 10%-15%, to improve aerodynamics up to 10% and reduce specific fuel consumption up to 5%,” SCAC said. <br/>
