Citing the aircraft's growing inefficiency both in terms of cost overheads and fuel consumption, Aeroflot retired the type from its fleet in March this year.

Cubana operates a fleet of three IL-96s on domestic flights as well as on flights from Havana Int'l to Buenos Aires Ezeiza, Caracas Simón Bolivar, Madrid Barajas, and Paris Orly.
