Sky Aviation will receive its first Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100) from Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company in January 2013.
Sky Aviation, the first domestic carrier to operate the SSJ-100, has ordered 12 planes at a cost of more than US$380 million. Three more are expected in Indonesia by March.
An SSJ-100 crashed into Mount Salak, near Bogor, in West Java, during an exhibition flight in May. Forty five people, including the plane’s crew, journalists and businessmen were killed. A recent investigation by the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) concluded that the Russian-made aircraft is safe. The crash was caused by pilot error.
Sky Aviation currently operates 10 aircraft of various types such as the Boeing 737-300, Fokker 100, Cessna Grand Caravan and Cyrus. The company serves several routes, including Batam, Pangkalpinang in Bangka, Natuna in Riau Islands and Labuan Bajo in Flores. (iwa)
