May 8, 2008 (newstodate): Sukhoi is confident that its SuperJet 100 will perform its first flight before the end of May.
The event has been delayed for half a year due to miscellaneous issues in the production process, but all tests results are now in the green, the company says.
The SuperJet promises to become a cost-efficient alternative to Bombardier's and Embraer's current market dominance, and will reportedly offer a 13-14 percent saving on fuel, compared to its competitors.
