Cityjet Superjet update
« on: April 09, 2016, 07:25:21 PM »
First delivery due into Dublin within the next couple of weeks.  IAA well behind on publishing their registry updates so I don't know the reg as yet.

Teaser photo from Superjet:

Poor resolution but Superjet removed the Tweet soon after so I had to rely on a screenshot found on airliners.net!

Seems to be K, N, W or X as the middle-letter

By a process of elimination:

EI-FKA used to be on an Aer Lingus F50
EI-FNA is registered to the latest Stobart AT72
EI-FXA is on an ASL AT72
EI-FWA doesn't seem to have been issued

So the latter?

Possibly KA, from looking at it. Could the F50 have been re-issued?

A registration won't be reused so EI-FWA looks to be correct.

First SSJ due into Dublin 'this evening', don't know more than that right now.  Reg is EI-FWA if you want to set an alert.

Very nice Don, nice looking jet in that livery. Wonder if they'll eventually get the after market add on winglets?

Oh is that what that is. Couldn't get any info on him other than a callsign.

Looks like he might come close enough for a snap.

Stood out squinting at the sky like an eejit but couldn't see anything in the haze

Same here. Not even a trail to follow.

Heading NE past Donaghadee again at 16:30.  Managed a glimpse out of the window!

17:25 southbound again

Do we start pining for the old 146s now?

Just read that Cityjet won't be running the Superjets on scheduled services until 2018!  Will be pimping for charter business until then.
