Lao Central Airlines' first Sukhoi Superjet 100 has been fully painted in the Asian carrier's livery at Russia's Ulyanovsk finishing facility.
The aircraft, number 95026, is the first of three 93-seat airframes due to be delivered to the carrier.
Lao Central will take the aircraft "early this year", says Sukhoi's civil aircraft division. The airline has options for six more of the PowerJet SaM146-equipped aircraft.
