Sep 21, 2018 (newstodate): While new US sanctions are hitting exports of commodities and products to Russia, parts, systems and components with an impact on aircraft airworthiness remain exempt.
This is especially important for Russia's production and sales of its Superjet 100 aircraft where western components constituted up to 80 percent in the early production aircraft.
Russia is now working hard to bring this proportion down, and with the new version of the Superjet 100, the Superjet 100R, the proportion of western-made components will be down to some 40-50 percent.
