A new business version of the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 aircraft  will appear in the second half of the year, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov told reporters during the International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX). This is reported by RIA Novosti.

“This year we have the new new version of the SSJ-VIP aircraft, with sharklets, additional tanks and other differentials. A demonstration plane will appear in the second half. I think there will be a sufficient number of people interested in this version, because the cost-benefit is very competitive,” told minister.
