The Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC), which manufactures the Superjet 100, says it cancelled an agreement to supply Adria Airways with fifteen aircraft of the type due to the Slovenian carrier's poor finances. In a statement, which disputes Adria's claims, SCAC said, "In November 2018 there was a preliminary agreement achieved concerning the delivery of fifteen aircraft to Adria Airways in 2019. The agreement was supposed to be transformed into a firm order. The institutions that were to provide the financing, after studying Adria Airways' financial report for 2018, recommended to SCAC to cancel the deal in order to factor out the losses. The recommendations were accepted and the deal was stopped. The delivery of the aircraft is impossible without a firm order". Adria Airways has previously said it would post a "significant" loss for 2018. The airline responded to SCAC's statement this afternoon labelling it as "misleading". "We reject all of SCAC's misleading claims relating to the SSJ arrangement. Negotiations were suspended on our part for reasons already stated in the press release", the Slovenian carrier said.
