Six Aeroflot flight instructors have qualified in the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) after undergoing 40 days of training at the manufacturer’s Zhukovsky base near Moscow. These pilots will be flying the Russian carrier’s first SSJ100 to enter revenue service, with initial passenger flights expected later this summer.

Aeroflot became the new jetliner’s launch customer by placing firm order for 30 SSJ100s in 2005. The carrier will assign 11 pilots to each aircraft, driving a need for 330 SSJ100 pilots in 2014, when deliveries are due to be completed.
