SSJ100 gains type certificate in Indonesia

The Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) has been granted its type certificate in Indonesia. The validation confirms the aircraft with Indonesian Aviation Authority requirements, allowing its export to Indonesia and operation by local airlines.
The first SSJ100 will be delivered to Indonesian Sky Aviation before the end of this year. The carrier ordered 12 SSJ100s in August 2011 at MAKS Air Show in Moscow. Deliveries are planned for 2012-2015.
At the end of October, the first Sky Aviation aircraft arrived at Ulyanovsk for painting and cabin outfitting at the facilities of Aviastar-SP (ATW Daily News, Nov. 1).
In May, the SSJ100 crashed into an Indonesian mountainside during a demonstration flight (ATW Daily News, May 10). Several Sky Aviation representatives were onboard and were killed.
