Background:
The Ilyushin Il-86 (Russian: Илью́шин Ил-86; NATO reporting name: Camber) is a short/medium-range wide-body jet airliner. It was the USSR's first wide-body and the world's second four-engined wide-body. Designed and tested by the Ilyushin design bureau in the 1970s, it was certified by the Soviet aircraft industry, manufactured and marketed by the USSR.
The Il-86 was the penultimate Soviet-era airliner to be designed. Developed during the Leonid Brezhnev era, which was marked by stagnation in many sectors of Soviet industry, the Il-86 used engines more typical of the 1960s, spent a decade in development, and failed to enter service in time for the Moscow Olympics, as was originally intended. The type was used by Aeroflot and successor post-Soviet airlines and only three of the total 106 examples were exported. In service, it gained recognition as a very safe and reliable model with no fatal incidents during three decades of passenger-carrying operations.
Aeroflot operated the type commencing on December 1980 until its retirement in November 2006. CCCP-86054 was delivered to Aeroflot in July 1983. After being re-registered RA-86054 in 1993, it was scrapped in 2006.
