Feb 12, 2013 (newstodate): Aeroflot's Superjet 100 aircraft are suffering from teething troubles.
Actually, out of 10 Superjet 100 aircraft operated by the carrier only three have occasional been in service, with the remaining seven requiring maintenance and repairs.
Sukhoi acknowledges the problems, detailing the processes of adjustments to four aircraft that were taken out of service with Aeroflot after the Russian aviation authorities temporarily revoked their airworthiness license.
Among the problems haunting these early Superjet 100 aircraft are problems with the landing gear, indication of hydraulic oil leaks and malfunction of slats.
