MOSCOW - Russia plans to produce at least another 200 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, Industry Minister Denis Manturov told Reuters, despite a fatal crash that raised questions about the future of the country’s first new passenger jet since the Soviet Union.
While Russian authorities have said there is no reason to ground the aircraft, there are signs of nervousness among passengers and operators. He did not give a time frame for production of the 200 aircraft and did not say if buyers were lined up for all the planes, although he cited an order from Aeroflot for a further 100 jets, and from Thailand’s Thai Kom Airlines, which previously signed a contract for six Superjets.
