Ukraine-owned Antonov Airlines and forwarder Kuehne + Nagel have delivered urgent paper mill machinery parts from Tallin, Estonia to Chile on one of the carrier’s An124-100 aircraft.
The parts needed to get quickly to the mill during its scheduled shutdown period.
The airline’s commercial executive, Iryna Kyianytsia, said: “A special recognition goes to our load planning team, whose expertise ensured that every required piece was efficiently and safely accommodated within the aircraft. This achievement highlights not only the capabilities of the An-124 but also the outstanding professionalism and collaboration of everyone involved.”
To load and unload seven cargo pieces — the largest weighing about 20 tons — the rear door of the AN-124-100 was used in combination with the aircraft’s internal cranes.
