Colleagues have scheduled the flight for April 25.
According to Alikhanov, a third SJ-100 will soon join the tests, and the tests of the import-substituted aircraft should end by the end of the year. The Ministry of Industry and Trade expects deliveries of the SJ-100 to customers to begin in early 2026.
