Russia and China will establish a joint leasing company for the promotion of Russian aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100 in the Asian market. Over the next three years it is planned to sell about 100 aircraft worth over 3.5 billion rubles. The Asian market may favor to take a plane, but we have to act fast: soon the market will be more attractive offers from competitors, experts say.
In order to promote the Asian market Russian short-haul passenger aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ -100) is planned to create a Russian-Chinese leasing company. This “Gazeta.ru” told two sources familiar with the details of the impending deal.
The signing of the agreement is expected to will include representatives of the United Aircraft Company (UAC), “Sukhoi Civil Aircraft” (GSS), the Russian-Chinese Investment Fund (RKIF), Management Committee of the new area Xixian leasing and Chinese New Century International Leasing.
Official representatives of the KLA, and GSS RKIF declined to comment.
According to the interlocutors “Gazety.Ru” by the joint venture will be implemented within three years, about 100 aircraft SSJ-100. Given that the approximate cost of the aircraft by catalog is about 36 million rubles., The total amount of transactions can reach 3.5 billion rubles.
The joint leasing company will promote Russian aircraft not only Chinese, but also in the whole of the Asian market, which is estimated as a promising sales for SSJ-100. Last October, the Ministry of Industry reported that Russia intends to conclude contracts for the supply to Indonesia of 15 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft in three years.
short-range Sukhoi Superjet 100, designed to carry up to 100 passengers up to 4400 km, is almost the only Russian project of civil aircraft, which have reached the stage of commercial exploitation. However, some details of the ship, including the engine, developed and purchased by foreign aircraft manufacturers. As a result, the share of imported parts in the assembly of more than 60%.
The largest operator of Sukhoi Superjet 100 is a Russian airline “Aeroflot”. Among other customers SSJ-100 appear “Gazprom Avia” (8 cars), the airline “Yakutia”, the Russian Interior Ministry, as well as the Red Wings. The largest foreign customer SSJ-100 – Mexican airline Interjet, in its fleet are already 14 Amphibious this type.
When Finance sing
Meanwhile, at the end of 2014 the financial condition of the GSS worsened amid the economic situation and the difficulties associated with the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions from Western countries. Net loss SCAC IFRS increased in 2014 to 10.13% compared with the previous year and amounted to 8.59 billion rubles. The negative financial results of the company explained the failure of group sales plan sun on Russian and international markets, as well as the implementation of “knowingly unprofitable contracts”. Production costs for the reporting period increased by 39.03%, to 27.4 billion rubles.
In 2014, customers were transferred to 27 aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100), nine of which were exported. This year is expected to produce about 44 aircraft, at least on the level of production is not less than the previous year (ie at least 37 BC) said Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at a meeting on the development of the Far East in April.
In order to support the domestic aviation industry authorities intend to capitalize the KLA, of which partially enters GSS, 100 bln., Which is the end of March, said Russian President Vladimir Putin. In addition, it planned to be allocated from the federal budget of about 27 billion rubles. to support the leasing companies that work with the GSS.
The main thing – to act quickly
The Russian aircraft manufacturers have a chance to realize the plans of sales through a joint venture with China’s leasing, experts say. “The remaining three years – this is the time period when the market is not new aircraft from its main competitors SSJ-100,” – said “Gazeta.ru” Glavred portal aviation “airport” Oleg Panteleyev.
According to him, the main target customers of Russian-Chinese leasing company will be those carriers which are interested in operating lease when the aircraft is not transferred to the ownership of the operator.
In this segment in SSJ-100 has certain advantages in regard to flight performance and comfort, the expert says.
But by the end of this decade, the aviation market is expected to appear on other regional aircraft manufacturers such as Brazil’s Embraer and the Japanese Mitsubishi, which, as stated by the manufacturer, will have high levels of fuel efficiency, superior Russian Superjet in the form in which it currently exists.
Air carriers focused on financial lease, most likely, will prefer to wait for the time to market of new products from these manufacturers, sure Panteleev. In order to compete for these customers, the GSS will have to submit a new plan for the development of the aircraft: the new engine, wings and avionics, said Panteleyev.
