Well I noticed a few things about this plane. 1 - I don't think this plane actually exists. There is a -300 variant, a M variant, a -400 and a -400M. No -200 variant. So I'll have to check the stats on this plane as far as seat capacity and fuel flow, etc and correct it in-game. That may be part of the problem.
Every source that I find lists the unit price as 40-50M and I want to use real prices in this game unlike CA.
Although maintenance will definitely help, the IL-96 is still in-production, so if you buy a brand new one I don't know if maintenance will necessarily put a huge dent in the profits.
There is a reason why the major airlines don't all just drop Boeing and Airbus and buy hundreds of Ilyushins. Maybe is has to do with the build quality, maybe Ilyushin doesn't have the production capacity to make hundreds of planes. Probably it's a combination of a lot of factors. I'll have to think about how to work this into the game. I could make certain manufacturers "less reliable" than others, but if I do that I want to base it on facts, not just because I think Ilyushin planes are crap

Quote:According to the official figures released on the respective contract (signed in 2013), the customer paid for this aircraft a sum of mere Rouble 3.75 billion. By today’s currency exchange rate, this comes to less than U.S. dollar 52 million. For comparison, Airbus 2016 price list asks 231.5 million for an A330-200 and 256.4 million for an A330-300.https://www.ruaviation.com/docs/5/2016/4/13/104/
