Sukhoi Superjet 100 loses EASA Type Certification approval, new narrowbody MS-21 will NOT get EASA TC either! and the Be-200 jet amphibian loses its EASA TC and surely the IL-114 will NOT get anything from EASA.

NOT like anyone buys Russian commercial aircraft, their programs have all been disasters! and the new MC-21 is a good aircraft, but the world’s airlines are buying A320neo’s, B737Max’ and in China the Comac C919, those 3 programs have +12,000 orders while the MC-21 has just 175, all to Russian airlines except 10 for Azerbaijan.

The MC-21 is a good narrowbody, but it will never sell well outside Russia, just like the Sukhoi SSJ-100.

I always liked the Be-200, as a seaplane/amphibious aircraft expert that has worked on the Frakes G-73T Turbo Mallard, and the Dornier Seastar, and helping AAI (Australian Aircraft Industries) with the 28 passenger G-111T, I see the huge potential for aircraft that can operate on land and water, with 73% of the world’s surface, why limit air services to just the 23% of the world’s surface that island?

A topic for a future artcile.

Russian airlines can no longer buy or lease aircraft or parts from many western countries. Airspace is closed to them and they can no longer use maintenance services. These sanctions in response to the Russian attack on Ukraine are currently the focus of attention in aviation.

But there is another important consequence, as Easa made clear on Monday (March 14). The European aviation authority said it had suspended its certifications for Russian aircraft, parts and simulators.

Also Beriev Be-200 loses registration
The authority published a list of the affected companies and aircraft. These include the Superjet 100, the Tupolev Tu-204-120, the Beriev Be-103 amphibious aircraft and the Beriev Be-220-ES-E, which is often used as a fire-fighting aircraft.

All these aircraft are irrelevant for European airlines. It should still hurt the superjet manufacturer Irkut in particular not to have any prospects for customers from the EU for the time being. The model once took off for the Lufthansa subsidiary Brussels Airlines .

Close the door for Irkut MS-21 too.
Above all, however, Easa is slamming the door for future certifications for the time being. According to the authority, it was decided to stop pending certification applications. In addition, no new applications from Russian companies will be accepted “until further notice”.

The Russian short- and medium -haul hopeful Irkut MS-21, the turboprop Il-114-300, the planned Russian new version of the Antonov An-2 and the Chinese-Russian joint project CR929 are likely to be affected . Although Russia had recently set itself the goal of first establishing the new planes in the domestic market , the manufacturers should not like the fact that Western Europe is now closed to them as a market.
