During his working trip to Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin got acquainted with the assembly process of the Russian passenger liner Sukhoi Superjet 100 on Wednesday. This reported by TASS.

At the production site of the United Aircraft Building Corporation, Mishustin, in particular, examined the assembly shop for the manufacture of the detachable part of the aircraft wing, the final assembly shop, and the flight test station. During the inspection, he asked questions about the production. Mishustin also boarded the Superjet 100 aircraft, which is located at the flight test station, where he personally got acquainted with the work of the digital board for production management. He was informed that this decision of the so-called visual management would be replicated to all production sites.

"We looked at the shops, we looked at the assembly, new technologies. Of course, today all the technological solutions that have been implemented provide a completely different opportunity to build a whole fleet of these machines for use in Russia for all types of our airlines," Mishustin said after walking through the production site. He stressed the importance of these machines being "at a high level" in terms of quality and service. "I will say a very important thing: in the Soviet Union, we have machines of this class — in fact, the Yak-42 was about at this level, about 200 were produced, although this machine is widespread, and many people know it who lived in the USSR. Already today (in production), there is the 224th Superjet. That is, in terms of quantity, we have already surpassed even this well-known machine," Mishustin said.
