The backlog of orders for Sukhoi’s Superjet 100 regional airliner passed into three figures yesterday when Russia’s AviaLeasing signed a heads of agreement for 24 of the 95-seat model and options for 16 more. Here at Farnborough today, Sukhoi is expected to announce a breakthrough order from a Western operator.

The $630 million deal with AviaLeasing was signed here yesterday by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft president Victor Soubbotin and the leasing group’s deputy chairman, Victor Novikov. The contract, which builds on the 73 firm orders logged prior to the show, is expected to be finalized within six months.
