Briefing
Keeps SSJ-100s viable through 2029, directly affecting fleet-planning, residual-value and retirement schedules; see UAC's first serial-production SJ-100 maiden flight for recent activity on the type.
Extends demand for parts and MRO at a time when Western support is constrained; Aeroflot has cannibalised Boeing freighters for spares, illustrating supply-chain pressure.
Preserves operational capacity while domestically developed replacements progress — for example the MC-21-310 has cleared ground certification tests, highlighting parallel certification and industrial activity.
