Sukhoi Superjet 100 Aftermarket In Numbers

James Pozzi

A Russia-Centric Customer Base

Aviation Week's Fleet & MRO Forecast data estimates 196 Sukhoi Superjet 100s are in-service this year. This is expected to grow to 576 aircraft globally by 2028. However, question marks remain over whether the program can win more western customers. At present, the majority of SSJ100s are operated by Russian carriers, which include Aeroflot, Yamal Airlines and Gazpromavia.

Issues with Interjet

Before doubts arose about Cityjet's future as a SSJ100 operator, similar questions were being asked with Mexico's Interjet. In September last year, the airline confirmed plans to sell of its SSJ100 fleet in favor of acquiring more Airbus A320neo aircraft.

A $2 Billion MRO Market

MRO demand is set to outpace fleet growth - generating 13.7% annually from this year to 2028 in comparison to a fleet expansion of 12.7% for the same period. In total, the SSJ100 aftermarket is predicted by Aviation Week to be worth $2 billion over the decade.

Russian Providers Adding SSJ100 to Capability List

More than half of aftermarket spend will be for line maintenance, which will account for 53% over a 10-year period. Unsurprisingly, this has seen a growing number of Russian MROs add SSJ100 maintenance services to their offerings in the past few years. The likes of Aeroflot and Gazprom Avia are performing line maintenance checks, while S7 Engineering gained certification for all types of SSJ100 repairs in 2016.

Future MRO Demand By Region

Future MRO demand will center on Russia and the Eastern Europe region. By 2028, $1.4 billion of the $2 billion MRO market will emanate from those regions.

Following reports that Cityjet, the last European operator of the Russian-manufactured aircraft has returned its SSJ100s to manufacturer Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, here's a look at some of the key numbers around the aircraft's aftermarket.
