So are aviation enthusiasts ready for  Siberian superjet that is coming in with a price tag of $28 million?    The Russian aerospace firm, Sukhoi, thinks so and will begin delivering the Sukhoi Superjet 100 this December.  The price tag undercuts the likes Bombardier due to lower labor costs in Siberia.

The jet has 5-seat rows setup, combining style and ergonomics, will be among the largest ever installed on regional transport aircraft thanks to a fuselage almost 18 inches larger than those of competitors.
