Within three years, the Russian-Chinese leasing company will acquire up to 100 aircraft worth about $3 billion. This is twice the total number of aircraft that have already been delivered to customers.
The headquarters of the new leasing company will be located on the territory of the Russian-Chinese industrial park in the Shanxi Province city of Xixian, the capital of China's aviation cluster.
The Superjets will have increased Russian contents, replacing the current western systems. Domestically produced units from KRET will replace most of the imported avionics of SSJ within three years.
In 2014, Technodinamika Holding provided the company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft with seven sets of chassis unit braces for SSJ 100, which enables the release and removal of the chassis. Serial production of this unit is taking place at the plant Aviaagregat.
The production of the SaM146 engine is underway as part of the Russian-French program of NPO Saturn, part of United Engine Corporation. In 2015-2016, the company expects to reach a production capacity of 150 SaM146 units.
