The first aircraft of the Il-96-300 series "Valery Chkalov" has been finally decommissioned. The aircraft with tail number RA-96005 was sent for storage to Sheremetyevo Airport.
Now "Valery Chkalov" serves as a training simulator for the Ministry of Emergency Situations units to practice actions in emergency situations on board.
The first flight of the Il-96-300 took place in April 1991, the manufacturer of the aircraft is the Voronezh Joint Stock Aircraft Building Company (VASO, part of PJSC "Il" of the Rostec State Corporation).
In the early 1990s, "Valery Chkalov" flew with the inscription "Russia" on board, and in March 2004 it was repainted in the Aeroflot livery.
Meanwhile, VASO promised to build new aircraft of the Il-96-300 series. It was at least about two aircraft per year.
