While the question of the certificate is being discussed
A joint venture between the UAC and the Italian Leonardo, created to export the SSJ 100, wants to obtain a European type certificate for the aircraft, as reported by Kommersant . Now the certificate, which was suspended due to sanctions in 2022, belongs to Yakovlev.
UAE investment company MarkAB Capital may buy the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) stake in the Italian SuperJet International (SJI, a joint venture between UAC and Leonardo) to start production of SSJ 100 aircraft.

Kommersant clarifies that the transfer of the certificate and all technical documentation for the aircraft is one of the conditions under which MarkAB Capital is ready to acquire UAC’s stake in SJI. Due to sanctions, this share has been arrested, but in parallel, SJI is trying to convince the Italian authorities to lift the arrest.
The press service of SJI refrained from commenting until the official relaunch of the joint venture and added that the company “strives to secure its future by attracting new shareholders.”
We are actively working on a plan to restart the company, which will be possible only after certain conditions are met and the necessary permits are obtained from the Italian and Russian authorities.
