JSC Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC), SuperJet International (SJI) and the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) signed a contract for the delivery of another Sukhoi Business Jet (SBJ). This will be the third SBJ to join RTAF’s fleet in 2018.

The third aircraft will be delivered in a two-cabin layout with a common zone for VIP and business class. It will have greater capacity – up to 73 passengers, including four VIPs. It will be equipped with various types of communication systems and a multimedia IFE system.
The SBJ, including its interior, is built and assembled at a production plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia. SCAC will also provide aftersales support on-site in Thailand. Crew training will be held at SuperJet International’s training center in Venice, Italy.
