Sukhoi Superjet

The main attraction, and another new type for me .
The Sukhoi Superjet is a Soviet built medium range regional jet, designed to compete with the likes of the Embraer E-Jets and Bombardier C-series regional jets.
The aircraft is mainly to be found flying within Eastern Bloc countries.
The largest customers outside the Eastern Bloc is Mexican airline Interjet, with a fleet of around 30, Irish airline CityJet, with a fleet of 15 - these are occasional visitors to Manchester, but I have yet to see one - and the Royal Thai Air Force, with 3.
Designated as Sukhoi SSJ100-95, this example is one of the first to be built, and is a VIP version. Here we see RA-89053, operated by Rusjet, arriving at Manchester from Moscow Vnukovo, no doubt in connection with the World Cup football.
