Orders and current operators
This is a list of sourced orders and current operators of the Superjet 100. However, as Sukhoi last updated its official order overview in 2012[8] and secondary sources are either outdated[5] or contradicting, it is not possible to determine a fully complete and currently correct overview.[citation needed][needs update]
