Vladimir Putin / Russian Presidential Flight
Follow…
Vladimir Putin has served as President of Russia since 2000 (with a 2008–12 gap as Prime Minister). His VIP air fleet is operated by Special Flight Detachment "Russia," based at Vnukovo-2 (UUWW), the Kremlin's dedicated terminal outside Moscow.
The primary aircraft are Ilyushin Il-96-300 four-engine widebodies — Russian-built and deliberately chosen over Western jets to avoid foreign dependency. Serials RA-96014 through RA-96025 form the current fleet; RA-96022 and RA-96023 are the newest, delivered 2021–22. The fleet is supplemented by Airbus A319-115 ACJs (RA-73025/26) for shorter-range official travel, Antonov An-148s, Sukhoi Superjets, and Tupolev Tu-204/214s for government transport.
Putin's exact aircraft is rarely confirmed in advance for security reasons; the Il-96s operate under the RSD callsign series (RSD001–RSD999). Post-2022 sanctions have degraded spare-parts availability for the A319s but the Il-96 remains fully domestically supportable.
