EconomyAeroflot warns Superjet fleet could shrink without state subsidy for engine swaps

Aeroflot CEO Sergei Alexandrovsky said Russian airlines will need state support to replace foreign-made engines on their Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft with domestic PD-8 engines. Without subsidies, he warned, SSJ 100 fleets will gradually contract. The replacement is estimated to cost 2.1–2.3 billion rubles per aircraft, while industry sources question whether enough engines can be produced.
