Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant (branch of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company) has completed assembly of the 100th Sukhoi SuperJet 100 (SSJ100) airliner. On October 5th the jet performed a test flight above Komsomolsk-on-Amur and confirmed that the preparation for delivery may be continued. 

After all the final modifications, ground and flight tests the 100th SSJ100 will depart from Khabarovsk Territory to Ulyanovsk for customization:  it will be painted in a customer’s livery and the interior of its cabin will be installed. 

The anniversary SSJ100 jet will be operated by its launch customer – the Russian flag carrier – Aeroflot. In accordance with the schedule, the aircraft will be delivered to the carrier in early 2016.
