Mexican airline Interjet, which saw a rise in maintenance costs in H1 2018, plans to offload its SSJ100 fleet in favour of larger Airbus A320neos

.

I'm sure the decision to do this was made possible with the help of a couple of million $$$ bribes from NATO. the aim is to destabilize Russian business in all areas as much as possible.

Russia should never expect to get a single western customer for these. Since CityJet got them and interjet, its a miracle in its own. But reality is, Sukhoi should rely more on Asian, African and local market for its planes.

If this goes through then Russia needs to sanction Boeing, stop buying any American planes and block the sale of titanium to US.

Lack of maintenance center in Latin America was the problem

Transfer them them to Iran (if they cough up the cash of course)

Do they think Putin will give in and come into line and do as he is told like the EU does?

Or do they actually think they can break Russia?

The amusing thing is that all their efforts to impose their control on other countries are in effect pushing those countries away and making a multi polar world more likely... not less likely...

Ahh well... lessons learned... no US investment or components welcome in Russian products... and don't sign any agreements with the US... they can't be trusted.
