The Powerjet SaM146 received its EASA certification yesterday, June 23, some six years after Snecma of France and Russia's NPO Saturn founded the joint venture to build the engine and more than seven years after Sukhoi Civil Aircraft chose the engine to power the Superjet 100. Patrick Goudou, EASA's executive director, presented the type certificate to Powerjet chairman and CEO Jean-Paul Ebanga during a ceremony in Cologne, Germany, attended by Snecma chairman and CEO Philippe Petitcolin and Saturn chief executive Ilya Fedorov.
