Armavia To Resume Superjet Flights Under New Lease

Armenian airline Armavia is set to resume operations with Sukhoi’s Superjet 100 after the first full production example of the new narrowbody (S/N 95007) left Zhukovsky airfield near Moscow to be delivered to the carrier’s headquarters at Yerevan’s Zvatnots Airport on October 2. According to Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC), the Russian airframer has settled a financial dispute with Armavia, which will now restart SSJ100 operations under a new lease.
