We recall that a number of accidents are associated with the liners produced by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur aircraft factory in the Khabarovsk Territory. One of the most tragic accidents occurred exactly a year ago - on May 5, 2019, when Aeroflot’s “Superjet” caught fire in Sheremetyevo, and 41 people were killed in a fire. It was after this disaster that increased attention was paid to Sukhoi aircraft.
More than once the SSJ-100 had to make an emergency landing as a result of malfunctions. For example, in January of this year, the board urgently landed in Rostov-on-Don due to the operation of the fuel sensor. In the same month, IrAero Airlines sent to Sukhoi Civil Aircraft JSC a claim for damages in the amount of about 2 billion rubles. There are nine Superjets in the carrier’s fleet, of which only five are operational. In February, the SSJ-100 failed a test for the release of emergency inflatable ramps.
