Ilyushin IL-62 or Ilyushin IL-86 maybe? Found this in Google on the Aeroflot website

Aeroflot flew up to 17 Il-86 jumbo jets per day through Shannon and on to Havana and cities in North and South America in the 1980s and early 1990s. It dropped the stopover after obtaining jets certified to make nonstop trans-Atlantic flights from Moscow.

Thank you very much for that help!I actually think it was the Ilyushin il-62 for the simple reason that i remember the seating layout was 6 abreast throughout.Thank you again!
