The Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Russian: Сухой Суперджет 100, romanized: Sukhoy Superdzhet 100) or SSJ100 is a regional jet designed by Russian aircraft company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, a division of the United Aircraft Corporation (now: Regional Aircraft – Branch of the Irkut Corporation[5][6]). With development starting in 2000, it made its maiden flight on 19 May 2008 and its first commercial flight on 21 April 2011 with Armavia.

The 46–49 t (45–48 long tons) MTOW plane typically seats 87 to 98 passengers and is powered by two 77–79 kN (17,000–18,000 lbf) PowerJet SaM146 turbofans developed by a joint venture between French Safran and Russian NPO Saturn. By May 2018, 127 were in service and by September the fleet had logged 300,000 revenue flights and 460,000 hours. By November 2021 the fleet had logged at least 2,000,000 hours.[7] The plane has recorded three hull loss accidents and 86 deaths as of November 2021.

In 2022, Sukhoi announced a Russified version of the body and electronics, without most of the Western components; the engine is also being replaced by a Aviadvigatel PD-8. Aeroflot has ordered 89 Irkut SSJ-Russified aircraft.[8] In August 2023, parent company Irkut rebranded itself as Yakovlev, with the Superjet to be known as the SJ-100.[9]
