RA-96018 VIP IL96 at LHR 01/05

This VIP IL96 was a welcome visitor to Heathrow on the 1st May, arrived in typically dire Heathrow weather. No idea who the VIP was on board.

Nice IL96. 🙂

This flight was probably in connection with the “Middle East Quartet” meeting in London.

Nice catch there Ark! Operated by Rossya Airlines or the Russia State Transport Company, take your choice.

Whereas airlines have their ‘slots’ highly priced and coveted, into LHR, I wonder how many additional slots are available for VIP’s and the odd freight flight?
