At the Moroccan airline Royal Air Maroc, they have already assessed the capacity of the baggage compartments of the Russian short-haul SSJ-100 aircraft in comparison with Western airliners. This was reported by Aleksandr Dolotovskiy, director of the Regional Aircraft branch of PAO Yakovlev.
According to him, when operating a similar flight on the Canadian Bombardier CRJ-1000, the carrier had to send part of the baggage on another aircraft.
