Aug 25, 2011 (newstodate): New customer for Russia's Sukhoi Superjet 100 is Tajikistan's national carrier.
Tajik Air has placed orders for delivery of four Superjet 100 aircraft, to be received under a financial leasing agreement.
The first two aircraft will be delivered by the end of 2013 and will be long range-versions of the Superjet, offering up to 4,500 km of range.
Superjet International has earlier stated that it plans to sell 35 percent of the production to operators in the United States, 25 percent to European customers, 10 percent to Latin America, and finally seven percent to operators in Russia and China.
So far, however, the bulk of the order book with 212 firm commitments and 90 options contains operators in Russia and CIS, with rather few exceptions like the Italian regional carrier ItAli Airlines booking 10 aircraft, Italian carrier Blue Panorama Airlines with 12 Superjet, the Indonesian carrier Kartika Airlines with 15 aircraft, and the US leasing company Willis Lease Finance Corporation with orders for six Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft plus four options.
