Cubana, Cuba`s airline, can also resume flying with the Ilyushin
Il-96. After being in Russia for maintenance for more than a year, the
plane returned to Havana over the weekend. There it was festively received
with a water salute.
Earlier this fall, Cubana also received a Tupolev Tu-204 from Russia
after maintenance. That aircraft returned in September after 4 years (!).
The Cuban airline now has two Russian aircraft operational again. A
large part of the fleet is still grounded.
Cubana is the world`s only airline still using the Il-96. The
Russian `Airbus A340` anywhere else only flies for the Russian government.
Since the departure of the Il-96 (registration CU-T1250) to Voronez
in Russia for maintenance last summer, Cubana has mainly used an Airbus
A340 wet-leased from the Spanish Plus Ultra for international flight
operations.
The Tu-204, Cubana`s other deployable Russian aircraft, is now in
Tehran for a state visit by the Cuban president to the friendly nation of
Iran.
