Ilyushin IL 96-300 long-range wide body passenger airplane can carry from 257 to 289 passengers to a distance of up to 13,500 km. The airplane has a maximum takeoff weight of 250 tons, and is able to lift up to 40 tons of commercial payload, with fuel consumption of up to 7.3 tons per flight hour.

The Ilyushin Il-96 is a short version of long-range, wide-body aircraft and incorporates advanced technology concepts such as supercritical wings,  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 color LCD displays, inertial and satellite navigation systems, and an Traffic Collision Avoidance System (including mode “S”). It is certified for two crew operations.

The IL-96-300 aircraft is designed by Ilyushin Aviation Complex (city of Moscow, Russia) and manufactured by Voronezh Aircraft Manufacturing Company (city of Voronezh, Russia).

Less ground turnaround time, common crew rating, common spare parts, fuel efficient engines, and low maintenance costs, ensures operating expenses are minimized. Enhanced cabin configuration flexibility allows airlines versatility in fleet deployment as per the varying requirement of the routes flown by the operator, keeping in mind the commercial and economical aspect.

The aircraft is powered by four turbofan two-shaft PS-90A engines, produced by Perm Motors (city of Perm, Russia).
