Apr 04, 2016 (newstodate): Production of Russia's Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft is lagging behind earlier plans.
In 2014 a total of 27 aircraft was produced, including 18 for the domestic and nine for international customers, and in 2015 production reached only 25 aircraft including 20 for domestic and five for international customers.
The slow progress has forced the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft consortium to downsize its estimates for total Superjet sales till 2031 by almost a third - to a total of 595 units which means production of only 31 aircraft annually during the period.
