Yes, looks like. But it's a Xian Y-20.

The Xian Y-20 is China's largest military aircraft and the pride of its strategic transport fleet. The specimen with the tail number 20240 had taken off from Tekirdağ in Turkey about three hours before its arrival in Innsbruck. It originally came from Ürümqi in northwest China. That's where the 43 soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army had boarded the plane, which now left Austria at just before 9 a.m. on Monday. But while the vast majority of passengers at Innsbruck Airport arrive as ski vacationers, the opposite of a vacation awaits the Chinese in Tyrol. In the coming days, they will take part in the Edelweiss Raid in the Alps - the "toughest military mountain competition", which is organized by the Austrian Armed Forces every two years and is now considered the official world championship for mountain soldiers. For the competition, they will split into three teams, which will then compete against other mountain troops from numerous nations. This year, teams from nine nations are taking part - from Austria, Switzerland and Germany, of course, but also from the USA and, for the first time, China.

It was very impressive.
But this is not the largest aircraft that ever landed in Innsbruck. In Oktober 2000 an Austrian Airlines A330-223 was here.
