Denis Manturov, Russia's minister for industry and trade, said he wants Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company (SCAC) to assemble and sell “at least two hundred more” Superjet SSJ100s. “For me, the Superjet program is important not for quantities, but that it gave us a bank of reliable and competitive solutions in science and technology. Today, it enables us to move forward towards the MC-21, the Sino-Russian widebody," Manturov said in a recent interview.
