The Superjet maybe a perfectly good airplane and can make airlines money. However, I worry about Russian maintenance support. In situation of Plane On Ground (POG), airlines need to fix the problems and get the Superjet back into revenue service, where Russian companies are known to have poor support; unlike Airbus and Boeing (including their former McDonnel Douglas jets). That is the key for airline customer. They want reliable airplane and if support isn't there, Russia cannot sell Superjet.
As a public service to all those persons who might be thinking of boarding a russian-made "aircraft" I have composed this short prayer: Oh Lord, You are the Almighty!! Please watch over my body and soul as I step on this hunk-o-junk. You are able to make it hang together and deliver me safely. Amen.
@MrCarloBari I am american and I think that the IL-96 is better than any other aircraft. Look at the safety reports. This new Superjet would be amazing at Connection airports in smaller cities. One thing that I do know between the russians and americans. Americans make great planes that required a lot of attention mechanically. The russians build aircraft and they last for 30 years with very little servicing.
RC airplanes don't count buddy. Youre obviously way too arrogant to be a real pilot.
Thieving russians you say? Why did NATO steal MiG-21's, 23's , 25's ,29's as well as suchkoi machines threw the entire period of the cold war, as well as after it, if russian aircraft designs are so inferior and are based on stolen tech???
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi you fly a crop duster and call yourself a pilot? How many flight hours did you need for the license on that piece of junk? 2 ? 4? And how the hell did you get a license anyway, you must be blind to think the 737 and the superjet look alike.
@DrHavoc1 So I take it you are NOT a pilot. But rather an armchair pilot playing with your flight sims. Disqualified!! You have no standing in this court. Bailiff!! Take this buttboy back to his cell! Brutus is anxious to see you. This court sentences you to life for masquerading as an aviation expert. This court is adjourned.
@gonetoworkbbackin5mi No, I am not a pilot, and surely not a flight sim player, however I definitely know more than you about commercial air liners, because I work in an international airport as a traffic manager as well as weight and balance supervisor, and part of my job is to be able to distinguish one plane from the other, something you are clearly unable to do.
Very impressive aircraft and very nimble. I was rather surprised when i first read that Sukhoi were dipping into the civilian market but i hope it pays off for them.
Fantastic looking plane...seems like it is gonna have a bright future ahead from what i have read about it so far..i hope the Russian provide good after sales support to capture even more customers,,,,
Wow this plane looks so small yet so elegant.reminds me of the erj 175 but nicer

Oh look! Russians have stolen another aircraft design. A 737 rivet for rivet

@gonetoworkbbackin5mi Just because it's a small airliner you say it's a copy of a 737. Nice try!

@gonetoworkbbackin5mi Russia hasn't copied any aircraft design from the west since the B-29(Tu-4)
If you knew anything about aircraft, you'd notice it look much more like an airbus.
