As many as 14 Sukhoi Superjet 100 type RRJ-95 aircraft have been found to have structural defects in the fuselage, according to a letter from the Yakovlev company to Rosaviatsiya dated May 15, 2025.
The agency ordered an immediate inspection and, if necessary, repair of the aircraft. Service work is to be carried out on 14 aircraft with serial numbers 95104–95117. All aircraft in the batch were produced in 2016.
The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) noted that the Yakovlev company, as the developer of the aircraft, initiated the issuance of a mandatory airworthiness directive for SSJ-100 aircraft, acting in cooperation with Rosaviatsiya.
The document is preventive in nature and aimed at maintaining the airworthiness of the existing fleet of aircraft.
SSJ-100s with the numbers specified in the directive are flown in the Yamal (five aircraft), Azimuth (one aircraft) and Rossiya (one aircraft) airlines. The rest are not actively operated.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a video of tests of the new PD-35 aircraft engine has appeared, but there is no aircraft for it yet.
