It turned out to be a Sukhoi Superjet 100

… A large number of employees at the Siberia factory, responsible for working on the assembly of SSJ aircraft, were discovered to have falsified their university engineering degrees.

In 2012, a Superjet crashed into a mountain in Indonesia during a sales demonstration flight, carrying 37 aviation industry executives, members of the media, and eight crew members, killing everyone on board. Globally, the safety of the new aircraft was under scrutiny. The crash investigation revealed that the aircraft’s automatic collision avoidance system (designed to detect mountainous terrain) ‘was operational’, but had been ‘ignored by the pilot’, who was ‘possibly distracted by a conversation with a potential customer for the aircraft’. Consequently, pilot error was determined to be the primary cause of the crash.

In late 2016, 11 of Interjet’s SSJ100s were grounded due to a stabilizer (tail) defect. Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency issued an airworthiness directive requiring “detailed inspection of the stabilizer joint straps and bracket attachment bands”. During this period, I spoke to a friend who was one of the world’s few SSJ pilots, flying for the Mexican airline. We met at the Farnborough Air Show in the UK, one of the industry’s largest trade events. What he told me was, frankly, eye-opening. For the sake of anonymity, I’ll refer to him as ‘George’. Over coffee, George revealed that he had decided to resign from Interjet, due to a lack of trust in the aircraft he piloted. He stated, “When we report genuine technical issues with this aircraft, Russia retaliates by telling Interjet that it is us [pilots] who are mishandling the aircraft”. George further described how he felt that the genuine concerns of the crew operating this new Russian jet were not being adequately addressed, leading him to leave the airline — he is now flying for Aeromexico.
