The aircraft "Dry Superjet 100" (Sukhoi Superjet 100, SSJ-100, SU95), originally called the Russian Regional Jet (RRJ), began to be used in civil aviation relatively recently - since 2011.
The aircraft "Superjet" not only has a number of the latest specifications, high levels of reliability and safety, but also creates comfortable conditions for the flight of their passengers. This article will help you make the right choice of seat in the cabin in favor of the comfort of the flight.
Varieties of the aircraft "Dry Superjet"
The main modifications of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 include:
- SSJ100-75B (with a capacity for 75 people and a base flight range of about 3000 km);
- SSJ100-95В (with a capacity for 95 people and a basic flight range);
- SSJ100-75LR (with a capacity for 75 people and an increased range of about 4500 km);
- SSJ100-95LR (with capacity for 95 people and extended range).
Aircraft "SS100"
Intermediate models, such as, for example, SSJ100 -90 B, do not exist, although in practice airlines operate aircraft with a different number of seats for passengers. For some air carriers, aircraft of the SSJ100-95B or SSJ100-95 LR modification can be equipped, for example, with only 83 seats.
Note! Currently, only "Superjet 100 95" are used in operation.
Interior layouts are of two types:
- Single class(only for economy class);
- Two-class(for economy and business class).
The standard single-class layout consists of a 98-seat economy class cabin (first row of 3 seats and 19 rows of 5 seats), small galleys and 1 toilet each in the front and rear of the aircraft.
With a decrease in the distance between the rows of seats in some modifications of the SukhoySuperjet, its cabin accommodates 5 or 10 seats more - up to 103 or 108 seats.
In the case of a two-class layout, the cabin can consist of 87 seats (12 business class seats in 3 rows and 75 economy class seats in 15 rows) or 86 seats (8 business class seats in 2 rows and 78 economy class seats in 16 rows) .
Aircraft layout
These are just examples - the configuration of the passenger cabin of the Super Jet 100 aircraft, depending on the needs of the purchasing airline, can vary significantly, in the number of class seats and various modules: toilets, kitchens, wardrobes, seats for flight attendants, wardrobes and more.
Sukhoi Superjet cabin modifications on the example of several airlines
Based on materials from the Wikidot Superjet website and official group "VKontakte", today there are about a hundred SSJ aircraft in operation in the world.
Interesting fact! Aeroflot - Russian Airlines is the main buyer of the Sukhoi Superjet. The first flight of the aircraft under the flag of Aeroflot took place on June 16, 2011 on the route Moscow - St. Petersburg.
Initially, the airline ordered aircraft with a simplified version of the Aeroflot Lite cabin ("Aeroflot Light"). Currently, the air carrier operates the Aeroflot Full model (“Aeroflot Full”), which differs from the previous one in an increased number of toilets, kitchens and the presence of individual airflow for each seat. In July 2018, the airline's fleet already had 45 Superjet aircraft, all liners in operation are new.
The Aeroflot Full cabin of a two-class layout of 12 business class seats (3 rows of 4 seats) and 75 economy class seats (15 rows of 5 seats) exists in two versions: AF and AA. Their difference is only in the presence of an additional toilet in the tail section of the cabin for the AA model.
Salon Aeroflot Full
In addition to Aeroflot, the aircraft's buyers are such Russian and foreign airlines as Yamal, Azimuth, as well as Interjet (Mexico), CityJet (Ireland), Lao Central Airlines (Laos), Comlux (Switzerland).
Yamal Airlines uses aircraft with a cabin for 93 seats (8 in business class and 85 in economy) and with a cabin for 100 seats in economy class. It is not known how many toilets, kitchens and other blocks are provided by the air carrier, since Yamal does not provide a scheme of cabins even when checking in online for a flight on its website. As of July 2018, the airline's fleet has 15 Superjet 100 aircraft.
Another buyer of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is Azimuth Airlines. To date (July 2018), this carrier operates 8 Sukhoi Superjet liners. All aircraft of a single-class carrier with 100 seats (20 rows of 5 seats) or 103 seats (with an additional first row of 3 seats). The diagram below clearly shows the differences.

"Superjet 100": cabin layout, the best seats on the example of Aeroflot Full and "Azimuth"
The issue of flight comfort is of interest to most air passengers. There can be many reasons for excitement: the duration of the flight, the need to fly with children, physical data, various physiological needs, and much more. To decide which seat is better to choose, you should familiarize yourself with the features of the Su-khoi Superjet cabin using the Aeroflot Full and Azimuth modifications as an example.
Developing the interior of the liner, the designers plan to divide it into 3 parts: bow, middle and tail.
Bow of the saloon
Additional Information!Aeroflot has the first row of economy class at number 6.
Traditionally, it is believed that the most comfortable seats are in the bow of the cabin. The first row has extended legroom, which will allow any air passenger to get up and out of his seat without disturbing his neighbors, and for tall people it is more comfortable to transfer the flight while sitting. The absence of seats in the front means that the seatback in front will not recline, thereby reducing the available space.
Fore seat ticket holders are the first to leave the cabin after the landing is announced and are the first to receive meals and drinks. However, the last remark is valid for cabins with a galley only in the forward part of the aircraft.
Note! In the nose of the cabin, unlike the tail, turbulence in flight is felt the least.
Often, the first rows are popular with travelers with children, this is also due to the presence of special equipment here for installing baby carriers. It is worth paying attention to this fact for those who can hardly tolerate the presence of children nearby - it is better for them to choose a place in the middle or tail section. Although there is no guarantee that there will be no passengers with children.
The best places on the diagram below are marked yellow, the worst - in red.
Economy layout
Middle part of the cabin
The middle part of the cabin can be called a neutral place. Its disadvantage is that not all rows have portholes close to each other, which makes it difficult to observe the view from the window.
The middle part of the cockpit sometimes has emergency exits of the aircraft. Rows near these exits are equipped with fewer seats and more legroom for ease of movement of people during an accident. According to safety rules, it is forbidden to place children and the elderly here, who in a critical situation will not be able to quickly orient themselves, and it is also forbidden to put bags and other personal items under the seat in front of the chair.
Note! The passenger cabins of the Superjet 100 aircraft do not always provide emergency exits at the wing of the liner. In the case of Aeroflot Full and Azimut, there are emergency exits only at the front and rear of the aircraft, so the features described above do not apply to them.
Tail section of the cabin
The tail section of the aircraft is considered the least attractive due to the presence of toilets nearby. Holders of tickets for these seats have to endure possible unpleasant smells, sounds and the presence of a queue for the restroom, and with only one galley in the front of the aircraft, tail passengers often do not have a choice of food.
Usually the last rows are selected only if there are no other options. But in case of understaffing of the cabin (in the presence of free last rows), passengers have the opportunity to comfortably sit on two or three seats at once and sleep comfortably.
Important! In terms of safety, the tail of the liner is considered the best. According to statistics, during the crash among the survivors, about 70% sat in the tail of the aircraft.
The last row of the cabin has another distinctive feature - in most aircraft, the backs of these seats cannot be folded back, with the exception of the Aeroflot Full AF cabin, where such a possibility is provided.
The arrangement of the rows of the cabin "Dry Superjet 100"
A distinctive feature of the "Superjet" is the arrangement of seats for economy class, 5 in one row (2 - on the left, 3 - on the right). Rows of two seats are perfect for those who fly alone or alone, because in any case there will be only one person and only on one side.
Note! For a row of two seats, the seat numbering includes only the letters A and C, and there are no B seats. Accordingly, seats A are at the window, and seats C are at the aisle.
Porthole seats
Window seats are attractive for those who plan to spend the entire flight in their seat - such a passenger will not be disturbed by a person sitting next to him when he wants to get off. If necessary, he himself will get up and stretch himself, he will have to ask his neighbors to clear the passage.
Near the window there is a pleasant opportunity to observe the flight from the porthole. In addition, such a place offers more opportunities to work or read in flight, as it is far enough away from passing people and is equipped with better lighting.
Places in the center
In the case of a row of 3 seats, the middle seat is considered the least convenient for the flight, and in particular it should be avoided by passengers of large complexion. It will be difficult for solo travelers to sit between two strangers in a fairly cramped space, and the lack of a “personal” armrest will only increase discomfort.
On the contrary, for a company of three people, such a row is the most attractive, especially if one of them is a child - then the family will have the opportunity to accommodate as conveniently as possible and change location at any time.
Additional Information! Seats in the middle at check-in for a flight are usually reserved last, and in case of understaffing, the cabin may be empty.
Aisle seats
For restless travelers, aisle seats will be the most optimal - they always have the opportunity to get up, walk around the cabin and go to the toilet. Ticket holders for these seats have access to the luggage compartment and, if necessary, they can always remove or take something out of their bags.
On the other hand, it will be more difficult for these passengers to rest - people in the aisle or sitting next to them can often disturb them. When boarding is announced, they have the opportunity to leave the cabin before their neighbors, in case of time constraints, this can play a significant role.
Business class seats
Note!Azimuth does not provide a business class on Superjet 100 aircraft.
Seats in business class have significant advantages over the rest of the cabin. The seats here are wider and softer, in a row there are only 2 seats on the left and right, the range of food and drinks is larger, and each seat is equipped with sockets.
By analogy with the economy class, the most comfortable seats here will be the first row, they are characterized by the absence of neighbors in front, who can recline their seat at any time. On the Sukhoi Superjet 100 cabin map, the best business class seats are marked in yellow.
Layout with two classes
When choosing between a window seat and an aisle seat, it is better to give preference to a window seat, which will allow you to more enjoy the flight, relax or work.
Additional Information! The business class on the Superjet aircraft is separated from the economic class by a thin partition or curtain, so it will not be possible to achieve complete soundproofing.
Each airline, when ordering an aircraft from the manufacturer, selects its own special configuration of the passenger cabin for the liners. For most airlines, the cabin layout can be found on the website, or viewed during online check-in. When choosing the comfortable place in the cabin should be learned general rules: it is better to avoid the last rows and the seats in the center of each row, the rest of the seats have approximately the same comfort characteristics.
The Russian airline Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, together with foreign companies, has developed a modern short-haul passenger liner - the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Sukhoi Superjet or SSJ).
It is worth noting that this aircraft model has received EASA - an international certificate that confirms the use of this aircraft by all airlines of the World and Europe, which recognize the principles of EASA as a standard.
The SSJ 100-95B is also the first passenger aircraft in Russia that meets all European noise level requirements.
Aeroflot is the main consumer of this model airliners. The airline uses 10 different models of Sukhoi Superjet on its routes, out of 22 existing today.
To begin with, let's look at the configuration of the Sukhoi Superjet 100-95V airliner and note both the best and worst seats on the plane.
The first three rows seats are in business class. All seats are quite comfortable, except for seats A, C and F, D of the first row.
There is a partition in front of the 1st row, due to which there is slightly less legroom than in the rest of the rows of the same class.
Seats from 6th to 20th row are economy class seats. Seats A, C, D, E, F of the sixth row are the most convenient and comfortable in their class. The listed places have earned the title the best places economy class, thanks to the free space in front of the seats and the most convenient location.
Places of the last row ( 20th row) deserve special attention. It is in this part of the aircraft that the differences between the configurations of the AA and AF liners are observed.
In configuration AA for 20 there are latrines and technical rooms nearby, so the seats of this row either do not recline at all, or their folding function is very limited. In addition, people will constantly walk near the toilets, and sometimes a queue of them will form. These places can be called inconvenient.
In configuration AF- the distance from the last row to the bathrooms is slightly increased. In addition, the seats of the 20th row are absolutely no different from others. seats economy class. Although, walking past you will not stop.
Note: If you are not sure which aircraft you fly, choose the last row only if there are no other options.
- Familiarize yourself with the required aircraft configuration on the Aeroflot website;
- Choose for yourself good places taking into account the above recommendations;
- If you have any difficulties in choosing tickets, seek advice from qualified representatives of the company.

The Russian airline Yamal Passenger Transportation for domestic and international destinations modern aircraft different models. The company's fleet includes 38 units of aviation equipment, 15 of which are comfortable short-haul liners of domestic production - Sukhoi Superjet 100LR. The model with an extended flight range up to 4578 km develops a cruising speed within 830 km.
Yamal Airlines operates single-class aircraft with 100 economy class seats and 93 seats, 8 of which are for business class passengers.
Travelers can choose in advance the most comfortable seat in the cabin for the flight.
In the article, we will talk about the features of the passenger liner Sukhoi Superjet 100 of the Yamal air carrier, consider the board layout and determine the most convenient places.
Description and scheme of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 Yamal
In the cabin of the short-haul airliner SSJ-100 for 100 seats, comfortable seats for passengers are installed, located in two rows in a 2x3 layout. Economy class has 22 rows. In the tail and nose of the aircraft there are toilet rooms, a service room and a kitchen.
The Sukhoi Superjet aircraft with a cabin for 93 people has two classes of service. In the forefront is the business class, separated from the economy class by a standard partition. A more comfortable atmosphere has been created here for a comfortable flight to the chosen destination. There is a fairly large space between the seats for a comfortable location and unhindered lowering of the seatback.

Which seats to choose in the Superjet 100
To make the flight as comfortable as possible, travelers are advised to choose and book the most convenient seats in the cabin of the liner in advance.
Which seats are better to occupy in the Sukhoi Superjet 100 Yamal:
- 1st row - places of increased comfort with extended legroom.
- 12-14-15 - there is also an expanded space between the seats in a row. These places are near emergency exit therefore, they are forbidden to be occupied by pregnant women, passengers and, pensioners and the disabled. The lack of seats in rows 12 and 14 is a blocked mechanism for lowering the back of the chair.
Unfortunate places to fly to the Sukhoi Superjet 100:
- from 11 to 18 row - there is no beautiful view from the window, hidden by the wings of the liner;
- 21-22 row - close proximity to the toilet room, as well as blocked backs on the last row.
Each seat in the rows also has its own advantages and disadvantages. When flying on chairs near the aisle, the traveler will be able to easily get up to go to the toilet without disturbing passengers sitting nearby.
When flying on a chair near the porthole, you can look at beautiful views With high altitude and not be distracted by the requests of passengers sitting nearby who want to go out into the aisle to move to the toilet room.
Book comfortable spot for a flight on a Sukhoi Superjet 100 Yamal aircraft, you can purchase tickets for a flight or at check-in at the airport.
The Russian aircraft Sukhoi SuperJet-100 (SSJ-100), which was performing its first ever demonstration tour of six countries in Asia, disappeared from radar screens after a demonstration flight in Jakarta. There are 44 people on board, including the crew: eight Russians and 36 citizens of other countries.
Below is information about the flight performance of the aircraft.
Sukhoi Superjet-100 (SSJ-100) is the main Russian aircraft manufacturing project. The project to create a family of Russian regional aircraft Sukhoi Superjet-100 is carried out by CJSC Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, founded in 2000.
The family of Russian regional aircraft Sukhoi Superjet-100 consists of two aircraft with a passenger capacity of 75 and 95 seats in the basic configuration - SSJ100/75B and SSJ100/95B - and extended range - SSJ100/75LR, SSJ100/95LR.
At all stages of the creation of Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft, the latest technologies are used.
The use of the Human Centered Design concept made it possible to optimize the placement of control levers and instrumentation in such a way that it is possible to complete the flight by one pilot even in the event of an emergency. These solutions, combined with the "Dark and Quiet Cockpit" concept, ensured the possibility of precise, comfortable and reliable piloting of the Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft.
An additional gain in fuel efficiency, as well as high flight safety, is achieved due to the optimal piloting of aircraft in automatic mode and the protection of the flight control system from random errors. The remote control system is based on three dual-channel computers of the upper level (PFCU - Primary Flight Computer Unit), supplementing the dual-channel computers of the lower level (ACE - Actuator Control Electronics). PFCUs process command signals from the cockpit, autopilot and avionics and optimize the flight performance of the aircraft in all flight modes. The level of functional saturation implemented in the PFCU was developed taking into account the experience of the Sukhoi Design Bureau in creating a remote control system with automatic limitation of the limiting and operational flight parameters under manual and automatic control. Thus, the highest level of safety is ensured at all stages of flight, not only due to the high reliability of aircraft systems, but also due to the unique functionality of protection against errors associated with the "human factor". In the event of a series of serious failures on board, the CDS will switch to a backup control loop that provides flight performance at the level of a non-automated (conventional) aircraft.
The fail-safe architecture of the remote control system made it possible to completely abandon mechanical redundancy. The horizontal stabilizer is also controlled electrically. This helped to optimize its dimensions to reduce the level of aerodynamic drag and balancing losses. For the first time on the Sukhoi Superjet-100, algorithmic protection against touching the runway with the tail in case of a pilot's error during takeoff was used, which made it possible to abandon the use of massive mechanical shock absorbers that other aircraft are equipped with.
The open architecture of the avionics complex was designed by THALES based on integrated modular technology. This made it possible to reduce the number of structural blocks of the complex by about 15% and, thereby, simplify its maintenance. For this, an Airborne Maintenance System is provided, capable of detecting a failure - down to the structural unit in all major aircraft systems. Along with this, the basic avionics configuration is more functional than its closest competitors. It includes a triple VHF communication system with ACARS function, second generation T2CAS collision avoidance system, ICAO category IIIA approach capability.
Each aircraft is equipped with new SaM146 engines developed by PowerJet to meet all the requirements of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 family. The extensive experience and joint efforts of Snecma Moteurs and NPO Saturn have made it possible to use modern CFM56 & Tech56 technologies to create an engine with high performance characteristics.
Particular attention is paid to the maintainability of the engine, for example, it is possible to replace the blades without removing the engine from the wing. The modular design of the new engine reduces the number of components by 20%, resulting in cost savings and greatly simplifies maintenance procedures.
The "double-bubble" concept applied in the fuselage section made it possible to increase the living space per passenger to a volume of 0.885 cubic meters, and to increase the height of the baggage and cargo compartments to 1014 millimeters.
The aerodynamic layout of the SSJ-100 aircraft is specially optimized for flight at high cruising numbers M, due to which the optimal flight mode in terms of kilometer fuel consumption corresponds to the flight speed of modern long-haul aircraft.
Improved takeoff and landing performance along with all-weather capability, a wide range of range and payload capabilities allow airlines to open up new destinations by optimizing route network and timetable.
Savings are achieved by minimizing the cost of crew retraining when operating several aircraft sizes in a single fleet, easily accessible maintenance areas, a 20% reduction in the number of modular engine components (SaM146) and a 10% reduction in fuel consumption.
Due to aircraft weight reduction, economical fuel consumption, as well as reduction of aircraft maintenance costs, Sukhoi Superjet-100 allows to reduce operating costs by 10%.
Energy-saving LED cabin lighting technologies allow airlines to save energy and reduce maintenance costs.
The dimensions of the cargo compartment fully meet the requirements of trade unions for the work of ground personnel.
And although the Sukhoi Superjet-100 belongs to the class of regional aircraft, its version with an extended flight range can be effectively used on a number of main routes.
Sukhoi Superjet-100 meets the most stringent environmental requirements, significantly exceeds the current and pending ICAO requirements in terms of noise and emissions.
