As I remember the pictures it wasn't too badly damaged, perhaps deeper things have been damaged inside?....

so quick!! After a very hectic and stressful day I eventually got my SSJ flight, MTT-MEX 4O3557 with XA-OAA How lucky ! Can you tell us more about your experience ? I originally had my SSJ flight booked MEX to MTT but because of my new job I had to cut by half my Mexico trip, and related to that I had to book another Interjet ticket from MTT to MEX, as changing my first Interjet ticket would have cost me double the price than a new one... (?!?!) I had my flight from MEX to MTT with Aeromexico connect, and apparently due to too low clouds at MTT the pilots weren't able to land the plane (Emb170) at MTT, so after 2 unsucessful tries we were diverted to Veracruz... Could I catch then my flight in the evening with the SSJ back to MEX, out of MTT....?? and my flight back to YEG was just the next morning early bird...?...... and if I could not catch my flight back to canada this would have compromised my new job..... So after waiting for an official 20 minutes in Veracruz (unofficial time of 2 hours+ ) the time the weather would improve at MTT, even if we could land at MTT, could my SSJ plane in the evening coming from MEX land at MTT too?...... and if we weren't able to land at MTT then our Aeromexico connect flight would have gone back to MEX.... In fact I was preferring this solution, less stressfull to me, as back at MEX (it was in the morning still) I could try to book directly from the counter a one-way MEX-MTT with the SSJ, and then come back with my existing ticket MTT-MEX, and wether or not able to land at MTT perhaps we would have come back at MEX, then I would still have had my SSJ..... but, our Aeromexico connect was able to land at MTT after taking off from Veracruz. Then speaking with the ground staff Interjet at MTT, it seemed that all Interjet flights could be delayed but never cancelled, so I regained confidence somehow a little, and then waiting for the evening I was able to get some good internet (at MTT, is that believeable?? ) and browse XA-OAA come from MEX and then,....... LAND at MTT, such a relief!!! The flight 4O 3557 was almost empty, in a 2-3 configuration (already known), I was the first one to board, unfortunately the night was already set (and raining heaps) so pictures from the outside weren't that good and pictures out from the inside weren't that good neither... With a seat at the back on the left 19A, I found it very comfortable with lots of room (WAY WAY more than on most of A320s and B737s (if not all)), and very very quiet too. Very competent, available and friendly crew, free snacks and free alcohol on board. I would highly recommand Interjet to anyone travelling in the area. too low clouds at MTT tinypic.com/m/j7uucy/2tinypic.com/m/j7uubr/2tinypic.com/m/j7uubs/2tinypic.com/m/j7uubt/2tinypic.com/m/j7uuc0/2tinypic.com/m/j7uuc4/2tinypic.com/m/j7uucj/2tinypic.com/m/j7uuck/2tinypic.com/m/j7uucl/2another SSJ XA-BVM next to mine tinypic.com/m/j7uucp/2

Thank you for the trip report and the pictures, Fabien ! I wish the SSJ a lot of success, the aircraft seems to deserve it. From your pics, I notice the size of the VTP - not surprising as it comes with aircraft size, but still striking.

I wonder whether this is an early-built ex-problem-child. There were quite a few of them ...

According to airfleets - if it is MSN 95061 according to the mentioned photo - FF was on 26/05/2014 not the last one but not one of the first ones too.
It looks like originally for EMERCOM.

It looks like originally for EMERCOM. МЧС России Russian for Emercom The Ministry of the Russian Federation for Affairs for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (Russian: Министерство России по делам гражданской обороны, чрезвычайным ситуациям и ликвидации последствий стихийных бедствий), also known as The Ministry of Emergency Situations (Russian: Министерство по чрезвычайным ситуациям – МЧС России), or internationally as EMERCOM (derived from "Emergency Control Ministry") I wonder whether this is an early-built ex-problem-child. There were quite a few of them ... Nope, it's brand new. SSJ for the Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations I believe it's an SBJ (SSJ100/VIP), that's why it took more than a year in outfitting.
