I flew the SSJ-100 from BRU to EDI 2 years ago. I was so pleased with the comfort it offered.
But it turns out the SSJ-100 has a lot of technical issues. Brussels Airlines got rid of them because of that.
And not their lessor CityJet is abandoning them as well.
So I think the Russians have a bit of reputation to rebuild first. (although this is a different company)
I think it will be a success in former Soviet countries and countries under Russian and Chinese influence.
I also think it isn't a competitor for the A220, but rather the A320 and B737?
The MC-21 family is a scale larger than the A220 and flies further..
