I made two detailed posts about it in the last month. It is the IL-96M (which itself is a 6m stretch of the -300) but with PS-90A2 engines. You are right, it is attractive for cargo airlines.

Isn't it the IL-96T with PS-90 engines ? The IL-96M with PS90A2 would be the IL-96-400 ?
Quoting LTU932 (Reply 2): And who ordered that first IL-96-400T?
The first aircraft, according to the article, is for Atlant-Soyuz.
But Silk Way Airlines is interested in it, an airline which rather tends, as far as I can judge, to western jets ? That would be great !
Or is this a confusion with Silk Way from Azerbaijan ?

Thanks for the photo, pal. I do believe that I have seen a few photos in an airplane book I've had since I was about 11 or 12. Pretty large bird. According to that book, it was only flown in eastern block countries in Europe. Was that before the Soviet Union fell? Arent' some of those birds making flights across the Atlantic?
Do not bring stranger girt into your room. The stranger girt is dangerous, it will hurt your life.
