The Ilyushin Il-96 is a Russian quadjet long-haul wide-body airliner designed by
Ilyushin in the former Soviet Union and manufactured by the Voronezh Aircraft
Production Association in Russia. It is powered by four Aviadvigatel PS-90
two-shaft turbofan engines.
The Ilyushin Il-96 is a shortened, long-range, and advanced technology
development of the Soviet Union's first widebody airliner, the Ilyushin Il-86.
It features supercritical wings fitted with winglets, a glass cockpit, and a
fly-by-wire control system. It was first flown in 1988 and certified in 1992.
The basic Il-96-300 is equipped with modern Russian avionics integrating six
multi-function colour LCD displays, inertial and satellite navigation systems,
and a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (including mode "S"). It allows the
airplane to be operated with two crew members. The avionics correspond to modern
requirements on international routes in Europe and North America (RNP-1) and
allow navigation and landing under ICAO CAT III/A conditions. The Il-96 is
offered in three main variants: the Il-96-300, Il-96M/T and Il-96-400.
The Il-96-300 has a standard passenger capacity of 262 seats in a two-class
configuration with 18 seats with a seat pitch of 54 inches (140 cm) and 244
seats with a pitch of 32 inches (81 cm), of which typical seating is 3-3-3
(layout), but low density seating is possible with 2-4-2 (layout). Galleys are
positioned on the upper deck, and the lower deck can accommodate 18 LD-3
containers and crew rest areas.
In June 2005, the Volga-Dnepr Group signed a 15-year financial agreement with
Ilyushin Finance Corporation (IFC) to take delivery of two new-build Il-96-400T
aircraft, to be operated by Volga-Dnepr's subsidiary AirBridge Cargo. The first
was due to have been delivered in late 2006.

The Cuban Government newspaper Granma announced on 3 January 2006 the first
official flight of the Cubana Il-96-300, from Havana to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
On 11 August 2009 Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Viktor Khristenko
announced that manufacturing of the Il-96-300 would cease. In particular, the
Il-96-300 had been deemed inferior to counterparts from Boeing and Airbus, and
the manufacturer could not arrange commercially viable mass production, making
only one aircraft per year. The Il-96-400T cargo version was to remain in
production.
On 9 October 2015, it was announced that an updated version of the Il-96 may be
produced. This decision was taken due to the current diplomatic situation
between Russia and the West, and the dependency of the Russian Aerospace
Industry on Airbus and Boeing. In September 2017, the Vice President of Russia's
United Aircraft Corporation Aleksandr Tulyakov announced the start of
development of the 250-280 seat, wide-body long-haul aircraft in partnership
with Chinese builders. The aircraft is to be a development of the
Russian-designed IL-96 and will be assembled in China. A new engineering center
will be built in Russia to undertake technical and electronics production.
