UAC proposes re-engineing 50 Sukhoi Superjet 100/95 aircraft after 2029

Russia’s UAC says it is considering a plan to re-engine 50 SSJ 100/SSJ 95s after 2029. The proposal signals an effort to extend the type’s service life and improve economics by swapping powerplants as the fleet moves past its current modernization window.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • A re-engine plan for 50 aircraft would materially affect the SSJ 100/95 aftermarket—new engine procurement, certification activity, and required MRO overhaul planning.
  • Decisions made after 2029 can reshape fleet economics for operators evaluating continued asset use versus replacement, influencing aircraft retirement timelines and fleet strategy.
  • UAC’s proposal highlights how Russian aerospace primes are planning product sustainment through propulsion upgrades rather than new-aircraft procurement, with knock-on effects across suppliers and component demand.
