A Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft has arrived in Italy for tests, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft said on Wednesday.

"A third SSJ100 aircraft will take part in a series of tests, including detecting the noise level and the electromagnetic field," the company said, adding that the tests will take place at Caselle and Cuneo-Levaldigi airports in northern Italy.

The tests are part of a certification program involving three SSJ100 aircraft. The program is now 70% complete, with the aircraft having made 814 flights so far.

The SSJ100 is a family of medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi in cooperation with U.S. and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace and Honeywell.

Sukhoi has so far sealed deals on the delivery of 122 SSJ 100s.
