TEMPO.CO, Jakarta:
Sky Aviation plans to bring one unit Sukhoi Superjet-100 in the middle
of this month. "In 2013, five Sukhois will arrive in stages," Marketing
General Manager Sutito Zaenuddin told Tempo on Jan. 6.
The first aircraft will ply the Makassar-Sorong, Sorong-Jayapura, Makassar-Mamuju, and Denpasar-Makassar routes.
Upon arrival in Indonesia, administrative procedures, including flight proofing, must be followed. "The plane will fly in early February," he said.
In 2010, the airline conducted an analysis prior to making its decision. "We chose Sukhoi. The most important thing was the price," said Sutito. The leasing costs ranged from US$ 250,000 to US$ 300,000.
Based on its needs, Sky Aviation compared Sukhois with similar plane types, Brazilian Embraers and Canadian Bombardiers, which had a capacity of less than 100 seats and could fit a runway with a length of less than 1,000 meters.
"Compared to its competitors, Sukhoi's price was more reasonable," said Managing Director Krisman Tarigan. In addition, its superior technology was of special consideration to the airline.
In Jan. 2013, Sky Aviation will bring in three Sukhoi Superjet-100s with a capacity of 87 seats. The remaining, with a capacity of 97 seats, will be delivered in subsequent months.
