Nov 7, 2006 (newstodate): Certification of the military version of the new re-engined IL-76MD-90 has now begun and may be completed ahead of schedule.
The certification process is boosted by the experience with the civilian freighter IL-76TD-90VD.
The first new silent IL-76 is already in operation by Volga-Dnepr, and two IL-76 aircraft with Perm engines are being prepared for delivery to Azerbaijan's Silk Way Airlines.
In May, 2007, the next IL-76TD-90VD will be delivered to Volga-Dnepr.
