Iran Aseman and Iran Airtour Sign for Superjets at Eurasia Show
Sukhoi collects first commitments from Iranian airlines for version of SSJ100 with increased Russian content

Iran Aseman and Iran Airtour signed letters of intent Thursday with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC) at Turkey’s Eurasia Airshow calling for deliveries of a customized version of the Superjet 100 version dubbed the RRJ95R from 2020 to 2022/2023. Each carrier wants 20 aircraft. The RRJ95R would contain markedly less foreign content while keeping the SSJ100’s Powerjet SaM.146 turbofans supplied by a partnership between France’s Safran and Russia’s NPO Saturn. The manufacturer expects both airlines to convert their LOIs to firm orders by the end of the year.
