Ilyushin IL 96-400 long-range wide body passenger airplane is a new stretched version of IL 96-300, with increased wingspan. Unlike IL 96-300, it is powered by PS 90A1 engines with takeoff power of 17,400 kgf, which allows it to take from 315 to 436 passengers on board. With the maximum fuel reserve, the aircraft can cover up to 13,200 km and lift up to 58 tons of payload. IL 96-400 has a maximum takeoff weight of 265 tons, and fuel consumption of up to 7.5 tons/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).
