“The aircraft was named after Valery Sysovsky. Sysovsky Valery Borisovich was a flight engineer, the honored transport worker of the Russian Federation. He was a member of the flight crew that performed the first revenue flight of Il-96 aircraft (SU-315 from Moscow to New York)”, - Aeroflot noted.

Besides, the “Full” configuration includes more monitor cameras, separate control of lighting and air conditioning system in both cabins and additional flight attendant’s station. The jet in “Full” configuration also has more catering equipment and two ovens have been replaced with the larger ones. Moreover, it is fitted with air cooling valves with individual adjustments, three lavatories with swaddling tables and each block of seats is equipped with additional oxygen mask. Following the requests of the passengers, the aircraft was fitted with a mounting for flight baby cot.
