The state-owned Cuban airline Cubana de Aviación has officially returned one of its wide-body Il-96 aircraft to service. The aircraft, with registration number CU-T1250, flew to Havana from Minsk, where it underwent a major overhaul.
The aircraft was built for the Cuban carrier in the late 2000s. In total, Cubana has four Il-96s, but only this aircraft is currently in service.
The company's fleet consists of four types of aircraft — Russian Il-96 and Tu-204, Ukrainian An-158, and Franco-Italian ATR-42/72.
The rest are idle due to a lack of spare parts, fuel, and technical support — a consequence of the harsh American sanctions that effectively block Cuba from foreign trade and service chains.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Kazan Aviation Plant will increase capacity for the serial production of aircraft.
