Sukhoi Superjet in Sky Aviation livery (PK-ECN) – Photo: Jacob Pfleger | AirlineReporter
I was able to take a tour of a Sukhoi Superjet at the Singapore Airshow and am sharing the photos with AirlineReporter readers!
The aircraft, parked next to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was in Sky Aviation livery – an airline based predominantly in Surabaya Indonesia that operates a full-service product, including business class.
This was my first time on an operational Russian commercial airliner and I was pleasantly surprised that the interior was similar to an Embraer E-Jet, although it is considerably wider and the overhead space is greater.
The flight deck was also surprisingly roomy, as were the lavs and galley areas. The configuration in business is set up 2-2, while economy is 2-3. I found that the seat pitch in business was sufficient, but economy was a bit of a challenge.

I saw some interior pics in a trip report on a.net as well – it looks great in photos. The trip reported thought the finishes looked a bit cheap – did you find that too?
Hi James, the finishes seemed ok to me although the quality of the seats was a bit on the cheap side.
” I was pleasantly surprised that the interior was similar(?) to an Embraer E-Jet, although it is considerably wider and the overhead space is greater.”
As a passenger, you can´t compare this jet to an Embraer 170/190 family. The lay out 2 x 2 is quite different from this 2 x 3 russian e-jet. The 2 x 2 is unbeatable for passenger comfort. No aisle seats!
Sorry, no middle seats!
