The main rivals of the Sukhoi superjet are Embraer and Bombardier. The Sukhoi's fuel efficiency is 10 per cent better than theirs. Our plane beats its rivals in eco-friendliness, lower noise and emission levels, lower operational costs and higher comfort, which is very important for passengers

We can only benefit from all of these!! Competition is good and cooperation even better. That means cheaper air travel to us.
