Due to technical problems, Aeroflot operates only half of the purchased Superjet

On Monday, at the International Air Show, the UAC will present the public at the static parking of Superjet in the coloring of Aeroflot airline. Today in the Aeroflot park there are already eight such aircraft. However, according toRBC Daily , only half of the aircraft fleet is in the schedule daily, the rest are replaced by aircraft of larger capacity.

And average, all eight SSJ-100 Aeroflot take 600 flights per month, so there are 2.5 sorties per day per aircraft. Most often these are flights to Ufa (travel time for 2.06 hours), Odessa (2.14 hours), Novgorod (1.07 hours), Vilnius (1.35 hours), Kazan (1.30 hours) and other cities. As a result, each plane is in the air a little more than 4.5 hours a day.

In the subsidiary of the UAC, which produces these aircraft - the company "Civil aircraft of the Sukhoi" note that "the main downtime are associated with the false alarm system of the system detection system of the air conditioning system, namely, with high requirements for the accuracy of the installation of the system and its cable network."

To explain who and how will compensate for the aircraft of the downtime of aircraft, in the GSS did not. A source in Aeroflot believes that it can be both money and some preferences and concessions that help the companies work.

Superjet raid by Aeroflot according to the results of 2011 - 3.5 hours a day, small, with such an intensity of operation no plane will not be profitable, said Roman Gusarov, editor -in -chief of the Avia.ru portal. However, in the summer season, due to the large loading of Aeroflot flights, he himself changes Superjet to aircraft aircraft.

Recall that last year the first SSJ-100 Aeroflot Super Superpit was on the ground due to problems with the air conditioning system, which, with a normally working system, gives false signals about the malfunction. Manufacturers emphasized that this problem has nothing to do with flight safety.

Sukhoi Superjet 100 made the first regular flight in the coloring of Aeroflot on June 16, 2011 - from Moscow to St. Petersburg. SSJ-100 is designed to transport up to 98 passengers at a distance of up to 4.4 thousand kilometers.

During the year of operation with the liner, serious incidents occurred. On June 21, Aeroflot did not fly out of Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow "for technical reason", on June 18, a liner with 66 passengers on board could not get from Moscow to Copenhagen. The cause of the emergency was also technical problems. After taking off, the airplane was refused by the air conditioning system. The plane was forced to return back to Moscow.

Prior to this, increased attention to the latest Russian aircraft SSJ-100 attracted the tragedy in Indonesia . On May 9, during a demonstration flight there, a liner was broken there, piloted by a Russian crew.
