Rossiya fleet reaches triple figures with Superjet expansion
Rossiya has taken its fleet into triple figures after introducing 42 Sukhoi Superjet 100s to its operation, as part of an Aeroflot Group network restructuring. It says its fleet has expanded to 100 aircraft as a result of the transfer of Superjets, and it intends to have 66 of the type by the end of this year. Rossiya will further increase its Superjet fleet to 87 in 2022 – a year in which it will also start bringing in the Irkut MC-21. Aeroflot Group signed for the lease, with Rostec’s Aviakapital-Servis, of 50 MC-21-300s in February 2018 and will become the largest operator of the twinjet type. Rossiya carried nearly 3.8m passengers over the first six months of the year, twice the figure at the interim point of 2020, as domestic recovery in Russia lifted its performance.<br/>
