Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Rosaviatsia’s certification of the Aviadvigatel PD-8 for the SJ-100 is a direct enabler for import substitution in the regional-jet engine supply chain, specifically targeting the Superjet’s SaM146 replacement path.
  • The approval strengthens Russia’s broader push to restore civil aircraft certification momentum, aligning with prior reporting that Russia is targeting 2026 certification for the Superjet 100 (and other domestic types) amid rebuilding efforts (source:7c7c7c35-40e1-47e1-ba36-1d3aa11a84d3).
  • For operators and fleet planners, engine certification is a prerequisite to turning powerplant availability into dispatchable aircraft—an issue that has already been tied to fleet expansion planning around the SJ-100 (source:ef62e0a8-da75-4a13-86e0-5050266874b2).
