Cubana Ilyushin IL-96-300 (IL96) landing & departing Montreal (YUL/CYUL)

Both my first time seeing an IL96, seeing Cubana's own aircraft, seeing Cubana's new livery and seeing a Cuban registered aircraft (a lot of firsts for me here!). This is very likely the catch of the year for me... defiantly the rarest aircraft i have ever seen here (so far!)
I hope this IL96 (and their T204) because a regular here, that would be amazing... I hope you ENJOY the video. As you can see, we got 2 IL96 today :D

Reason for IL96 upgrade:
Cubana's leased A320's went back to their owner (rumour is because of failure to pay). Their 737 crashed :( and their leased B732 went back to Nolinor due to lack of insurance! So Cubana had no choice but to send their own metal and because Cuba grounded all their A148, it was this or a T204. This also caused a week of Cubana flights to YUL to be cancelled... thats a lot of pax!

Big thank you to Christian Lavoie! This one is dedicated to you :D
