Mexican Airline Receives Another Russian Superjet-100

MOSCOW, March 18 (RIA Novosti) – Mexican low-cost airline Interjet has taken delivery of a sixth Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet-100, the company said Monday.

Interjet CEO Jose Luiz Garza Alvarez said the total flight time of the Russian planes in the airline’s fleet was already over four thousand hours.

The company has ordered a total of 20 Superjet-100s, and it expects to receive its seventh in the near future, now under final assembly in Italy.

The airline plans to completely phase out its fleet of European Airbus A320 planes for the Russian-made regional aircraft in the next two years.
