ArmInfo. Armenia will be the first country to receive new Sukhoi
SuperJet-100 airplanes from Russia, Director for Public Affairs, Sukhoi
Civil Aircraft, Olga Kayukova told media Monday. RIA Novosti reported.

She said the Armenian national air carrier Armavia was selected due to
the simple configuration of the ordered aircraft. ‘Selection depends
on a number of circumstances. The simpler is the configuration the
easier to build the aircraft’, she said.

The SuperJet 100 project is a family of medium-range passenger
aircraft developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in cooperation with
major American and European aviation corporations, including Boeing,
Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace, and Honeywell.
