VLM Airlines signs engine support agreement with PowerJet

VLM Airlines has signed a long-term support agreement with PowerJet, manufacturer of the SaM146 engine that powers the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100). In October 2014, VLM Airlines announced the airline would become the first European operator of the long-range SSJ100 LR regional aircraft. Arthur White, CEO of VLM Airlines, says: “This cooperation is another step for VLM Airlines in completing the journey to deliver new scheduled services with the SSJ100LR by summer 2015.”
