On the 16thof April 2012 Direccion General de Aeronautica Civil (Aviation Authority of Mexico) provided Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC) with the Validating Letter (Type Certificate) for the Sukhoi Superjet 100. This document confirms the compliance of the SSJ100 aircraft to the certification requirements of the Mexican Aviation Authority and allows the delivery and operations of aircraft of such a type in Mexico without limitations.
In January 2011 Mexico’s Interjet ordered 15 SSJ100 plus five options. The delivery of the first aircraft is scheduled for the end of 2012.
