The delivery of the 1st Sukhoi Superjet 100 to Armenian ARMAVIA AIRLINES is scheduled for next month, officials said today. The SN 95007 will be handed over to Armavia after further tests, the regional transport minister said, adding that 64 test flights had already been conducted. The Superjet 100 is a family of medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi in cooperation with US and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace and Honeywell. The tally for orders for the plane has reached 170, with more regional carriers expected to line up as customers. Russian flagship carrier AEROFLOT has signed for 40 Superjets. An order for 10 Superjets plus 10 options from ITALI AIRLINES, has been put on hold due to financial issues with the carrier. Hungarian flag carrier MALEV's letter of intent for 30 Superjet 100s is also on hold due to a change in management at the Airline.
