context_page_description: The Sukhoi Superjet 100 or SSJ100 is a regional jet designed by Russian aircraft company Sukhoi, a division of the United Aircraft Corporation. With development starting in 2000, it made its maiden flight on 19 May 2008 and its first commercial flight on 21 April 2011 with Armavia.
  The 46–49 t MTOW plane typically seats 87 to 98 passengers and is powered by two 77–79 kN PowerJet SaM146 turbofans developed by a joint venture between French Safran and Russian NPO Saturn. By May 2018, 127 were in service and by September the fleet had logged 300,000 revenue flights and 460,000 hours. The plane has recorded three hull loss accidents and 86 deaths as of May 2019.
context_section_description: On 19 April 2011, the first production aircraft was handed over to Armavia at Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan, to be operated to Moscow and Sochi, as well as Ukrainian cities. The aircraft was named after Yuri Gagarin.
  On 21 April, the first commercial flight landed at Moscow Sheremetyevo.
  The flight lasted 2 h 55 min; Armavia used the Airbus A319 on this route before switching to the Superjet 100.
  On 1 May, it made its first commercial flight to Venice Airport in around 4 hours, it had accumulated 50 hours in 24 flights by then.
  By March 2012, the six aircraft operated by Aeroflot were flying 3.9 hours/day instead of the standard 8–9 hours due to failures and parts delivery delays, and the airline asked for compensation.
  In August 2012, Armavia announced that it had returned both of its SSJ100s to the manufacturer.
  Armavia then avoided further deliveries.
  In February 2013, Sukhoi stated teething problems are usual in new airliners.
  The SSJ entered service with Mexican Interjet on 18 September 2013; in their first four weeks, the first two aircraft operated were flown 580 times over 600 hours with a daily utilisation of 9.74 hours and a dispatch reliability of 99.03%.
  By June 2014, Interjet had received seven SSJ100s and the dispatch reliability had increased to 99.7%.
  On 12 September 2014, Interjet started regular passenger flights to the US, on the Monterrey, Mexico – San Antonio, Texas route.
  On 3 June 2016, the Irish carrier CityJet was the first western European airline to take delivery of an SSJ100.
