The recent accident at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport involving an Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet will be investigated by the Interstate Aviation Committee in Russia, while the responsible authority for certification of the aircraft design in the European Union is the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). No UK airlines currently operate this aircraft type, nor are there currently any routine operations of the type into the UK.
