A rare wide-body aircraft has returned to service, completing a ferry flight from Minsk to Havana after a long downtime, reports<\/a> the specialized outlet airdatanews.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cuba\u2019s state-owned airline Cubana de Aviaci\u00f3n<\/strong> has brought back into operation one of its few wide-body aircraft. The Il-96-300, registered CU-T1250<\/strong>, completed a multi-leg ferry flight from Minsk (Belarus)<\/strong> to Havana (Cuba)<\/strong> on October 11\u201312<\/strong>, according to flight-tracking service FlightRadar24<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The aircraft departed from Minsk (MSQ)<\/strong> on October 11, making intermediate stops in St. Petersburg (LED)<\/strong> and Reykjavik (KEF)<\/strong> before undertaking a nearly nine-hour transatlantic flight to Havana. Flight CU1250<\/strong> landed at Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed International Airport<\/strong> at 6:48 p.m. local time on October 12.<\/p>\n

This aircraft (serial number 74393202015<\/strong>) was first delivered to Cubana in December 2005<\/strong> and has now reached 20 years of age. It had been stored in Havana<\/strong> and later in Belarus<\/strong> for extended periods between 2022 and 2025, indicating that it likely underwent major repairs or heavy maintenance abroad.<\/p>\n

Cubana\u2019s Il-96-300 is configured for 262 passengers<\/strong> in a two-class layout \u2014 18 seats in business class<\/strong> and 244 in economy<\/strong>. The aircraft is powered by four PS-90 turbofan engines<\/strong>, which are considered outdated, have high fuel consumption, and limit its range to about 5,400 nautical miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cubana\u2019s fleet remains a rarity in modern civil aviation. In addition to another Il-96-300, the airline operates six An-158s, three Tu-204s,<\/strong> and several aging ATR turboprops<\/strong>. Years of sanctions and economic hardship have left Cubana with one of the oldest active fleets<\/strong> in the world.<\/p>\n
