Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Mikhail Degtyarev said that the installation of engines for Sukhoi Superjet New (SSJ-New) aircraft at the aircraft manufacturing plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur is being prepared to begin in March next year

Due to the transition to domestic engines, Sukhoi Superjet New (SSJ-New) products are not shipped yet. However, our workers in Komsomolsk-on-Amur are making progress – aircraft bodies are being assembled. From March, if everything goes according to schedule, and we really hope so, we will begin to install engines and give cars to the customer.
