The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a type certificate for the Sukhoi Superjet 100-95 on February 3, paving the way for the Russian jet’s operation by airlines in Western Europe and in countries that use EASA regulations as their reference standard. As a result, the Superjet 100 becomes the first ever Russian type categorized as a “large airplane” to achieve EASA CS-25 certification.
