BEIJING, May 23 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's Sukhoi aircraft manufacturer is ready to cooperate with China in civilian aircraft development projects, the company's CEO said on Friday.

Mikhail Pogosyan said China has shown an interested in a new modification of the Superjet 100 medium-haul passenger airliner.

"The Chinese market is so vast that [we] have a good chance of finding potential customers without competing with China's ARJ-21 regional airliner program," he said.

He said that Sukhoi's products are aimed at the global market.

"Cooperation is a promising area, since competition in the world market requires greater integration," the executive said.

The Superjet 100 project is a family of medium-range passenger aircraft developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in cooperation with major American and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace, and Honeywell.

The market for the Superjet 100 is estimated at around $100 billion for around 5,500 planes, up to 2023.
