The Il-114-300 arrived in Vladivostok before the Eastern Economic Forum after a flight of more than 6,000 km. Rostec called it the longest flight for the aircraft.

But this statement raises a question. In February, the Il-114-300 already covered about 7,000 km, heading to an exhibition in Hyderabad, India. Thus, the current route turned out to be about 1,000 km shorter than the previous one.
At the same time, the Il-114-300 cannot cover 6,000 km without refueling: its declared non-stop flight range is significantly less.
The UAC website indicates about 2,000 km for the variant with 68 passengers, and the ferry range without passengers and cargo is up to 5,000 km. Rostec did not specify how many stops the aircraft required on its way to Vladivostok.
Now the airliner will be presented to the participants of the EEF, including foreign delegations. Representatives from more than 70 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and China, will come to Vladivostok for the forum.
