Indonesia's Kartika tentatively agrees to order up to 30 Superjets
By David Kaminski-Morrow
Indonesian carrier Kartika Airlines has tentatively agreed to become the
Asian launch customer for the Sukhoi Superjet 100, with a potential order for
up to 30 of the type.
Sukhoi's civil aircraft division says the Jakarta-based carrier has signed a
heads of agreement for 15 firm Superjets plus 15 options.
Deliveries of the PowerJet SaM146-powered regional aircraft will begin in
2011.
Kartika currently operates a small fleet of Boeing 737-200 aircraft on
domestic and regional routes. Sukhoi says the agreement with the carrier is
worth $448 million at list prices.
"With Kartika Airlines being our launch customer in southeast Asia we are
opening a new market for the Superjet 100," says Sukhoi Civil Aircraft
president Viktor Subbotin.
Kartika's agreement is for the Superjet 100-95B, says the airframer, which
will typically accommodate 98 passengers in single-class configuration, or 86
in dual-class.
Candidates for Kartika's fleet-replacement have included the Bombardier
CRJ900, Boeing 737 and Airbus A319.
