with a number of airlines in Russia, Cuba, and Peru, as well as with the Cuban Air Force. Production of the passenger versions of the Il-96 was cancelled in 2009 due to it being inferior to its Western counterparts and long production times (1 example built per year), leaving only the Il-96T cargo variant continuing to be built.
