Russia's largest domestic airline, Vnukovo Airlines, is planning to update its medium- and long-range fleet, replacing older Tupolev Tu-154B and Ilyushin Il-86 models. The Moscow-based airline is seeking up to ten more Tupolev Tu-204 twinjets to take the place of the Tu-154s, as well as some larger types for its routes to the Far East. According to commercial director Sergei Komasko, the choice for the latter lies between the Ilyushin Il-96-300, and Airbus and Boeing types.
