Venezuela set to order Russian aircraft- by Jackson Flores Jr.

The Venezuelan government is expected this month to order two Ilyushin Il-96-300 airliners to be used for commercial airline and government VIP transport. The widebodies - each valued at around $98 million according to local government sources - are scheduled for delivery in the first and fourth quarter of next year. Sources in Venezuela indicate that one of the airframes will be fitted out as a presidential transport aircraft in a configuration similar to that used by the Russian government. The second aircraft is expected to join state-owned airline Conviasa's fleet to fly on its long-haul routes.
