SCAC Cites Engine Shortage for SSJ Delivery Slowdown
The Superjet manufacturer plans to deliver up to 30 jets in 2019.

Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC) this year shipped 22 new SSJ100 regional jets and placed six used aircraft against the earlier plan of 30 total deliveries, due partly to a shortage of PowerJet SaM.146 turbofans, according to company CEO Alexander Roubtsov. The plan for next year calls for 28 to 30 deliveries, including 22 new from the factory and six to eight aircraft from the existing stock. The following years will see a rise in shipments to more than 30, he added.
