Background

A glorious heritage with a fresh approach

The shareholding structure of SuperJet International and its sister company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC) displays the joint participation in our venture of Sukhoi – one of the most renowned Russian aviation companies – and Alenia Aeronautica, member of the Finmeccanica Group and heir of the foremost competencies in the Italian aviation industry.

The association of these prominent partners does not only represent the widest cooperation programme between Italy and Russia ever signed in civil aviation.  It represents the culmination of a long history of knowledge exchanges between our two countries in the aerospace sector, where both are marked by the quality of their engineering talent, their pioneering spirit and the passion for research and innovation.
