Interesting move, especially because they already have a diverse fleet: Airbus A319, CRJ700, CRJ900 and Saab 2000 aircraft. On the other hand, 98 seats and a larger MTOW should create some opportunities.

When speaking about the future fleet, the spokesperson of Adria Airways did not mention the Saab 2000. I don't know if this happened accidentally - or if they are probably thinking about getting rid of them.

Earlier, Russia and Iran sealed a deal for the delivery of 40 new twin-engine regional passenger aircraft of the latest version, Sukhoi Superjet 100R, for two Iranian airlines – Iran Air Tours and Aseman Airlines. The deal is believed to be worth $2 billion and an even more ambitious agreement for 100 planes was being considered.

Sukhoi Civil Aircraft reduced the number of SSJ100s produced in 2018 by one third, compared to 2017. SCAC built 23 SSJ100s in 2018, 11 aircraft short of 2017 output. Not really the sign of a healthy business...

Sukhoi Civil Aircraft reduced the number of SSJ100s produced in 2018 by one third, compared to 2017. SCAC built 23 SSJ100s in 2018, 11 aircraft short of 2017 output. Not really the sign of a healthy business...

You forgot to mention this was because of the "amazing" work Safran has done with the hot part of the Sam146, lasting about only 1000 to 2000 hours before cracking up instead of the promised 8000hrs. This forced SCAC to use the production engines as spares for its customers. As bad as SCAC support has been, Safran's role in the appalling situation of the SSJ100 has been a very important one.
