India's HAL has signed a deal with Russia's UAC to manufacture the SJ-100 commuter jet in India
India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) to jointly manufacture the SJ-100 (Sukhoi Superjet 100) regional commuter jet in India. This move marks the country’s return to passenger aircraft production after several decades, since HAL’s AVRO HS-748 program ended in 1988.
