The plane has been named in honour of Russian military pilot Peter Nesterov, an aerobatics pioneer and the first to perform the loop-the-loop maneuver subsequently known as «Nesterov’s loop».

The new SSJ-100 has been transferred to Aeroflot under a financial lease agreement from Sberbank Leasing.

The aircraft can accommodate 87 passengers in a spacious dual-class configuration (12 business and 75 economy seats), and has a range of 2,400 km. The SSJ-100 received certification from the Aviation Register of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC AR) in January 2011.

SSJ-100 jets are an important part of Aeroflot’s fleet, which is among Europe’s most modern and technologically advanced. The total order for SSJ-100 stands at 30 aircraft.
