Supplies of imported components for the production of SSJ100 aircraft United Aircraft Corporation are under threat , the project ran into disruptions in their supply. About this on Wednesday, December 2, write Izvestia citing sources in the airlines operating these aircraft.
According to sources, the American company Honeywell was unable to deliver the parts on time, which led to an increase in the construction time of new equipment. In their opinion, the problems arose due to the current American sanctions, but the sources of the publication found it difficult to say which package of theirs led to such a situation.

In the same UAC said that foreign suppliers do not refuse to cooperate. An source close to the company’s management claims that the problems associated with the “re-issuance of a number of documents” concerned some details, but they did not affect the support for the operation of the aircraft.
