This has no impact on their LCY operations, unless the Bombardier deal also includes an option on some C-series machines once type approved for LCY to replace their aging RJ85's.

5 Sukhoi Superjet 100 for CityJet?


Russia May Deliver 5 SSJ-100 Planes to Irish CityJet Airline

[EI-BUD]

I'm figuring that the new Cityjet routes will be on Saturday and Sunday...pm Saturday and am on Sunday. Facilitating the closure at LCY at 1230 until 1230 on Sunday... I'm also guessing West of French destinations....

Looks like a Superjet order is imminent

15 Superjet SSJ100 ordered, will operate charter ops in 2016 before commencing at LCY in 2017.

Interesting order given the current political situation and lack of certification for steep approaches. I'm sure it'll be a busy time for the Superjet International team next year.

Since there are 15 Superjets ordered and there are currently 18 Avro RJ85's, I wonder if this means some Avros will have to be retained for the time being?

[Rivet Joint]

This is a great move on their part, and very brave. I have a sneaking suspicion that the superjet is a gem of an aircraft and WX stand to gain a lot. Interjet in Mexico can't get them quick enough and the dispatch reliability is brilliant. Hopefully this opens up the superjet to other airlines.

Apparently the SuperJet 100 has substancially lower operating costs than it`s Embraer and Bombardier competitors and the purchase price is significantly lower. A bold move indeed, fortune favours the brave!

[davidjohnson6]

Without wishing to be cynical, is the SSJ purchase essentially a 'bet the company' move, born out of necessity because Cityjet is in a somewhat constrained position financially and operationally ?
If things go reasonably to plan, it should work out well for Cityjet. If things don't work out (and there are plenty of risks here) then Cityjet end up in serious trouble.

[BAladdy]

Sounds like the aircraft will be a perfect replacement for WX's ageing RJ's. Well that is as long as it get approved for LCY ops

[Una Due Tfc]

So 15 odd CRJs and 15 odd SSJs? That's a lot of expansion no?

[BAladdy]

Yeah but the SSJ's are being used for fleet replacement. The CRJ900's have been ordered for WX to operate as wet lease for SK. I don't think they would have added the CRJ's if they didn't have the agreement with SK

Neither point is correct I'm afraid: the SSJ100's guaranteed DOCs are higher than both those of the CRJ1000 and the E190 although they may come down as the aircraft matures and the MPD is revised. Block fuel burn on 1.5 - 2 hr sectors is almost identical, engine SV costs are much higher. With respect to price, and depending upon spec/final negotiations, the SSJ100 is some $1.5m less than the E190 but some $3m more than the CRJ1000.

However, the SSJ100 comes with very competitive financing and other hard to turn down goodies.

Brave all right but how come then that the russians could not sell it to any high profile airline yet? (Please don't mention Aeroflot here).

Interjet in Mexico can't get them quick enough and the dispatch reliability is brilliant.

Even russian and other ex-soviet airlines claimed otherwise. What could have changed? Russia was not able to make any real quality product in the last 30 year; looking at its history I'm afraid that the Superjet isn't one either.

I'm not sure if any of it might come down to the fact that the SSJ comes in one shape and size..if you look at the competition you can order the 170, 175, 190 or 195 from Embraer, the CRJ700, 900, 1000, CS100/300 or Dash 8 from BBD, ATR 42 and 72 from France etc. Airlines like having regional aircraft that come in slightly different sizes, they can suit them to their own markets, and many airlines happily operate several members of the same family..i wonder if Sukhoi did a stretch would it help? It would eat into the CS300 market, aswell as the badly selling A319Neo/737 Max 7

Could also be because the SSJ's can be delivered a lot quicker than a fleet of E-jets could
