Come on people. The plane looks OK, flies OK and all agree it has never crashed. I like her and I would like to fly in her. Its better to keep using aircraft which do the job safely than scrapping them. It gets my vote.And I wouldn't be surprised that it can operate from a rough strip too.If so I hope there is one near me if I am in an earthquake Zone and the runways are declared inop.
The main problem in current russian planes is not design reliability. It's maintenance. Extremely long parts delivery times (like months...) and labor quality. So one day all these planes will become unsafe... It didnt crash yet also just because there just a few of them produced and flying. Just not enough statistical data collected. As a plane - from passenger view, its no big difference from mid-aged a340.
@Zeksteve environmentally they are OK. Not the best, just average. Economically - is a different deal. If they were built in numbers of a340 - they would have been affordable to operate. But not among leaders either, a340 was not too efficient itself...
@@jimsonbrown9768 its 20 years younder, no surprise. Il-96 may look as an average widebody, but planes did not change that much visually in last 30 years. It doesnt mean they didnt change internally. Thats just and outdated design already. Just like another similiar quadjet - a340.
3+3+3 configuration helps; today they just cram 3-4-3 which isn't helpful on other competitors; but the down-side is that that Il-96 is not as profitable.
Beautiful aircraft. Surprisingly very quiet on take-off can't say that about a Boeing 777. Perhaps though on par with a 787 in terms of quietness. VERY spacious cabin configuration and the isles look far wider then many of the "heavies" i've flown on. All around a great flight thank you for sharing this rare gem.
The IL-96 is back in production. Cubana has an an order for 3 of the modernized IL-96 400M. The new version has improved engines and new wings. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Aeroflot purchase the new version. They have returned to buying Russian with large orders for Sukhoi SSJ-100's and the Irkut MC-21. Other possible markets are China, Iran, South East Asian countries and Central America. The SSJ-100 has currently flown by a Mexican Airline.
Il-96 was never out of production. Only without orders or with very small orders from russian government - one plane per year. It's a nice plane that came up in the wrong time.
You are talking about Il 96-400.But the IL 96 itself was produced 30 .Previously there were silt 86they were released 106 pieces.This is the safest aircraft and all of its systems are duplicated 4 times, in addition it has the most stable eluminators in the world and is the safest aircraft
I have flown on this aircraft a couple of times from Gatwick to Havana and back again and it was very comfortable. Unfortunately Cubana no longer fly to airports in England, so I don't expect I will get another opportunity.
This plane used to fly for Aeroflot, pretty sure as the body and engine paint is the same. The last IL96 Aeroflot flight was in 2014. So common, ppl. This plane is not so bad
Я успел, летал за океан, 12 грёбаных часов, зато с кинотеатром, проектор был с тремя огромными линзами,словно фонари от светомузыки, наушники были похожи на стетоскоп, и курить тогда можно было так, что хоть сзади вешай топор)
Short flight with minimal fuel burn. If it’s flying and carrying fare paying passengers, it’s making more money than sitting on the ground for four hours between long haul flight.
But US&EU astronauts travel to Baikonur in Russian plane ( TU-134/204)...they travel to space station ( 70% made in Russia) in Russian Soyuz Rockets...they receive goods through Progress cargo vehicle( made in Russia)..and return to earth in Russian vehicle!...
Cu-1717 it's a former Aeroflot ra-96008 I flight one on it from Moscow to Krasnoyarsk, and it perfect, and more comfortable than 777-300 or 737-800 there is a please at least between seats and it's one of the safety airplane in the world
Летели 1 раз именно в этом самолёте в 2012-м. Он тогда имел бортовой номер RA-96008. Впечатления от того полёта самые тёплые. А теперь сердце кровью обливается. Спасибо кубинцам, что сохранили его имя собственное "Я.Моисеев".
Facinating plane - always had a soft spot for Ilyushin's, as the IL-62M was just so effortlessly graceful, beautiful and iconic. The IL-96 has a hint of that in the sheer scale and size of her interior while still being elegant on the outside - but it's a shame to see her looking so tired. She really needs a cabin refresh and a some freshening up on her paint job as well. No doubt she flies fine, I understand Cubana are pretty hot on that, but she just needs some aesthetic TLC.
Why a few passengers from CCC to HAV on that flight since HAV is Cubana’s hub - what I mean is that many passengers always fill many airliners to be full on way to their main hub airports? I am curious, I wonder if that Cubana flight was full from EZE to CCC before its way to HAV? I would like to experience on aCubana flight one day especially a Russian made aircraft.
Awesome Video Dude! The IL-96 is just a beauty :)) Where do you book the flight? I will be in HAV in May 2017 and i am really really interested to book the flight ex Cayo Coco to HAV. But on the website of cubana i was not able to find any flights to or from cayo coco .. :(
Try one of their flights from Santiago de Cuba to HAV (some flights from Europe stop there). I don't know if they still fly the route, it was a once weekly EZE-CCC-HAV service. I got in touch with their office in Paris and booked it by phone.
As I understand it, the Ilyushin 96 was an answer to the first three wide-body aircraft the US produced in the late sixties, though more contemporary with the Airbus A-300. Four engines needed for the workload of the DC-10, and Lockheed 1011 it was meant to go against. That this plane also flies to Toronto explains its presence in the Cubana fleet. I would wonder if it was the only wide-bodied aircraft they have?
An Il-86 had to be reengined. Check out an IL-86 with its tiny lowbypass engines. Very underpowered design, I must admit with all my respect to Russia. And so IL-86+engines (+minor tweaks like reinforced hardpoints)=IL-96
IL 96 has not only new engines, but absolutely new redesigned wing. It's body is shorter than 86's one. In short IL 96 is a new plane with Il 86's body design)) It's nice that you like our aircraft
Я стесняюсь спросить,а куда кубинцы летают на такой дальнемагистральный лайбе? У них крайне ограниченная география! И кто это самолёт из наземников обслуживает? 2-3 человека? Когда наши с ним справиться не могут! Я много лет отлетал в Шереметьево и не помню случая, что б Ил-96 пришел из дальнего рейса без проблем!
this aircraft model could be a beast with some western avionics and pieces. i'm pretty sure that civil russian made planes can crush western planes in the future, but america block their markets to have the monopole; that's why the russian companies don't invest much in that kind of branch of aviation. what a shame. russian planes can make a trip more affordable and put in serious troubles the western constructors.
I hate when the plane go into clouds. How nice for people in this flight to know they are inside a plane that never crashed and no body has ever died while inside in IL96
I've never seen a wide body aircraft with no overhead bins for the middle rows. It must be a common trait in Russian aircraft though it does make the cabin look spacious.
Why the plane does not have any screen in side economy class? Since its wide body aircraft, its expected to fly for longer hours so it was suppose to have entertainment screens even at the back each passenger seats like 787s, A350s etc...
Is this just older version, or why there is no passenger lights and air vents? Visually i always like this wide design with smooth nose shape, but isn't that worse on aerodynamics therefor on fuel efficiency?
The main use of the Il-96 is for Russian Government VIP transport; it's the type Putin or Medvedev fly in, for example, so it's the Russian equivalent of the adapted B747-200's which are used by the US President. The Il-96's are newer than the 747-200 ;-) Interestingly, this fleet of Il-96's is operated by Rossiya Airlines, an Aeroflot subsidiary, which is perhaps safer than having a dedicated small VIP transport group with the air force. The Tu-154M disaster in 2010 involving Poland's President and many VIPs revealed severe training, rating and flying time deficiencies which would not occur in a larger, properly run outfit. Since 2010, LOT Polish Airlines have provided the VIP service in Poland using its own seconded aircraft, and it will be interesting to see whether that continues with dedicated aircraft the government has ordered, following the Rossiya model.
The crew of the Tu-154M plane, which crashed in Solensk, admitted simply monstrously ridiculous mistakes in approaching the landing. The whole code. Every action was wrong and wrong.
Beautiful plane I'm a patriotic American but the Russian folks are pretty smart...Their president puts them over foreigners...The planes they build are rugged&practical. They don't have near the technology we do but this is amazing.
I took this plane from London to Havana. Efficient plane. No luxury of course but it was good. Flight was just perfect.
That plane is so quiet! It's the quietest plane I've seen here on RUclips. Thank you for sharing!!
Great airplane 💪👍
Wow that plane looks incredibly spacious! Quite beautiful to see her in flight so thanks for sharing!
I Love this Airplane!!!❤👍

An A340 is a mid size plane with four engines. Still used by many airlines.
You are everything else, but not an expert.
May be a dabbler!

As a safety card collector, I've just freezed when you show the "safety card collection" onboard. Nice video!
I would've loved to see this plane around the world flying passenger service more. Thank you for sharing this.
Such a wonderful plane , such a wonderful direction 🥃
I've flewn with this plane twice from Moscow to Bangkok. As a passenger I found it very spacious. Better than the 777.
Gunnar Ottosson indeed a very comfy flight in the Il96!

Thanks for your comment! Absolutely agree with your observations - a great plane to fly on!
My thoughts exactly. Surprisingly quiet on take off...
The only reason the cabin looks bigger is because there are no overhead bins in the center isle!
It’s not even wider
I actually like this plane. Quiet and spacious, what not to like.
Absolutely amaizing and hanks for sharing. Love from Jet Sppoting Melbourne team.

I hope so!!!
Doubt Aeroflot would buy any modernized IL-96. It's just there for special orders. Isn't it just a modernisation of existing frames?

Nice to see this Russian beauty!!! Awesome footage
AWESOME impressions of this RARE beauty, thx for sharing!
what a dirty window *grrrr
Belo equipamento 🇷🇺
I like the Ilyushin Il-96 plane.
Watched a few of these IL 96 videos now. There's something about them that looks so roomy inside.
Seems a really quiet aircraft. Thanks.
Great video! Thank you.
good video !:) the il 96 seem quiet , not a lot of noise on board :)
Great looking aircraft!!
Looks great on the outside, i really love the sharp nose/ front area.
Such a great aircraft, wish they flew more
Commie trash

Cool birdie!
This the special Ilyushin IL-96, POS Variant.
i saw it in Cayo coco it looked terrific. happy to have find it on RUclips
Excelente video felicidades
Very nice
This Board (Moiseev) flew in the direction Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - Moscow! I flew it!!!
Nice video. Subbed.
Very nice video,браво
I really want to fly it...
what was the cost to fly from Cayo Coco to Havana????
I was in Cuba last summer, in June of 2019. and the flight costs about 100 euros from Cayo Coco to Havana (Jose Marti airport)
@@guillermotd on summer.....but on january 20 Euros

excellent video
Still a better landing than Ryanair 🤷🏻♂️
And what in-flight experience did I get to see? Seats, lots of wing and a reading light?
Superb - sights one doesn't see too often any more! And you got the oldest bird, from the early 1990s. A wonderful experience, I am sure.
my plane from havana to buenos aires...my first fly 😘😘

AN IL-96-300 for a Cayo Coco to Havana run. No wonder Cubana is having problems.
It was just a quick stop on the way from Buenos Aires to Havana, quite a few tourists from Argentina disembarked in Cayo Coco.
OK, that makes more sense.
Well, if the airline were to make a profit, someone would have to be shot.

Not a lot of NA people can understand that. Education system make it that way
Russian IL-96 Good the best flagman
Looking to fly on her soon, hope to be as lucky as you!. Great video btw.
Thanks! Hope you are lucky as well!
Well, we are all gonna die someday. It's what human beings are supposed to do, you know...?
gonzamotulski Except I'd rather not die on a piece of shit Russian airplane...Jeez, at least die with dignity
0 Casualties, this along with the a380 are the most safest planes, I would certainly feel safer in a il-96 or a380 than a Boeing..
Super_Slav The 777 has a better safety record than both the A380 and il-96

Paul Gracey il 86 was. This machine rather was the answer to 747-400. Glass cockpit, winglets and better navigation. It did inherit 86's reability
Paul Gracey yeah, they only have 5 il-96 with 3 more on order, but no other wide-bodies

This must be the most spaces planes I've even seen, besides DC-10 and L-1011
Pretty sure it would be a lot more efficient if they used an AN-158 instead on this leg and the il-96 went straight back to Havana or where ever
Nice video!
What was the service on board? Did they serve drinks or snacks?
It was just a 40 minutes domestic flight. They served drinks and some sweets.
Very interesting. How much did it cost? Wich I guess says who can afford it in Cuba as well.
Muy linda el ala del IL - 96 !
Wonderful video! Thank you! Why doesn't one aileron didn't lift up with others to act as speed brake on landing? All the others did.
For such short trip they should use say Sukhoi super jet 100 for example.
