First SSJ100 export certificate for Europe


On June 11, 2013, IAC AR issued first export certificate for Europe for Sukhoi Superjet 100 MSN 95023.

Export certificate was issued basing on EASA official letter received by JSC "Sukhoi Civil Aircraft".

In February 2012 EASA issued Type Certificate for Sukhoi Superjet 100. The certificate recognizes that the SSJ100 aircraft complies with EASA strict airworthiness and environmental requirements. The validation allows European airlines and carriers operating in countries using EASA regulations as reference standard, accept and operate the SSJ100 aircraft.

 

In order to solve all technical and operational issues connected with first deliveries of SSJ100 to Europe and customization at SuperJet International production sites and further delivery to Mexican carrier Interjet European, Russian and Mexican aviation authorities carried out outstanding post-certification actions. The work resulted in first export certificate issue by IAC AR for Europe.
