In the final assembly workshop of the Voronezh aircraft plant VASO, which is part of the Rostec aviation complex, the assembly of the wide-body, long-range airliner Il-96-400M continued. This wide-body aircraft was a new modification of the IL-96-300.
The IL-96-400M will be equipped with a modern flight-navigation complex and domestic radio communications that meet the requirements of the international aviation authorities for navigation, surveillance and communication systems. Modular integrated avionics for the new airliner is produced by the Rostec Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies.
The aircraft can be presented to the customer in various configurations. In one-class performance, it will accommodate 402 passengers, two-class - 350, and three-class - 305.

Another important difference between the IL-96-400M will be a more powerful PS-90A1 power-plant compared to the base PS-90A installed on the IL-96-300. This engine has increased maximum thrust, it is equipped with a low-emission combustion chamber and new 2nd generation sound-absorbing structures. The engine is produced at the ODK-Perm Motors plant.
The completion of the assembly of the first prototype IL-96-400M and the transfer of the aircraft for testing were planned at the end of 2021. The plane is completely assembled from Russian components.
