Pristine to Prestwick

Taking the new Sukhoi out for a spin on the bank holiday Monday, Cityjet's brand new Sukhoi EI-FWA departs on day 2 of familiarization with Dublin-Prestwick-Shannon-Prestwick flights 6th June 2016.

 

Introducing the new Superjet SSJ100 passenger aircraft from Superjet International, a joint development between Alenia Aermacchi, part of the Finmeccanica Group of Italy and the Russian Sukhoi corporation.

 

Irish airline Cityjet is the first airline in Europe to take delivery of the SSJ, featuring 98 seats in a 3+2 layout, 15 joining the airline over the next two years.

 

.....it was all so exciting way back in 2016, sadly it didn't work out between Sukhoi & Cityjet, Spare parts issues & reliability dogged this new upstart & soon all SSJ's were returned.
