I imagine that we will return on this news to understand, first of all, if this ambitious Russian project will be realized and when.
Don't forget that the Yakovlev MS-21 performed the first flight in 2017 and still did not enter in service!

In the meanwhile something more concrete and of the planet Earth: K5 Aviation A350-900.
Not a livery but elegant.
K5 Aviation Is a German charter airline offering ACMI and charter high-level short ABC long haul flights with a fleet of A319WL (ACJ), A330-200 and a single A350-900.

The A350s are s**t compared to the A340s. I'm so damn glad I got a chance to fly on a LH A343 last summer.

The A340s are a class in themselves.
Untouchable. Sad they're being retired.
The A346 will always remain my fav quadjet. So damn effing beautiful.
The closest parallel out there amongst the new generation aircraft, perhaps, imo is the A35K.

The A330-200s will be out of the fleet by the end of the year. Rumour is that the -300s will follow in 2027 although it depends on KLM's future plans
