Although Foyle believes the MD-17 is "a very, very good airplane, itÂ’s not strictly comparable to the An-124." For starters, its capacity is only half the payload of the An-124 and, at an estimated $170 million, the plane costs 10 times more than the An-124 and some $30 million more than a 747 freighter.
Foyle envisions that companies which plan to use An-124 capacity would schedule flights from a year to five years in advance.
Air delivery is planned, built into the process right from the start, rather than sending them by barge, train or truck," he said.
