SuperJet International signs 10 years SuperCare Agreement with Sky Aviation

SuperJet International – a joint venture between Alenia Aermacchi (a Finmeccanica Company) and Sukhoi Holding – announced today the execution of a “SuperCare” Agreement with the launch customer for South-East Asia Sky Aviation for after-sales support of its SSJ100 fleet of up to 12 aircraft.
SuperJet International will provide the Indonesian carrier Sky Aviation with customized spares availability and maintenance/repair solutions of on-board equipments for a term of 10 years. The agreement is worth up to USD 57 million.
The “SuperCare” agreement is a comprehensive “per-flight-hour” program developed by SJI with the aim of maximizing aircraft availability to operators and optimizing their maintenance and associated administrative costs.
“It is an important milestone which confirms the SuperJet international’s fundamental commitment and role in the SSJ100 Program – states Nazario Cauceglia, Chief Executive Officer of SuperJet International – Since the SSJ100 entry into service, we have been committed to ensure the maximum level of after-sales performance and aircraft availability.
Similar “SuperCare” agreements were also signed in 2011 with other SSJ100 operators – continued Mr. Cauceglia – thus showing the added value of such an integrated lifecycle solution specifically designed for our valuable SSJ100 customers.
“The SSJ100 is going to strengthen our existing fleet – says Krisman Tarigan Chief Executive Officer of Sky Aviation – The aircraft will be operated from the airport of Pekanbaru, Indonesia, which has a minimum runway length of 1,800 meters.
We are sure it will allow to increase Sky Aviation revenues and passenger traffic. We also believe that SuperJet International represents a good partner for the after-sales support solutions they can offer along with a state-of-the-art product”.
In addition, SuperJet International, which is in charge of worldwide after-sales services, is providing Sky Aviation with Flight Crew, Cabin Crew and Maintenance staff training courses, along with on-site support in Jakarta.
