Antonov Airlines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (108 words) |
 | Antonov Airlines is a cargo airline based in Kiev, Ukraine. |
| The airline was established and started operations in 1989 when it entered into a marketing agreement with Air Foyle to market Antonov An-124 cargo charters worldwide. |
| This led to the Antonov design bureau (100% owners of the airline) obtaining its own operating certificate. |
| Antonov An-225 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (963 words) |
| The An-225 is an extension of Antonov's earlier An-124. |
| In 1989 a holding company was set up by the Antonov Design Bureau as a heavy airlift shipping corporation under the name "Antonov Airlines", based in Kiev, Ukraine and operating from London Stansted Airport in partnership with Air Foyle HeavyLift. |
| The company initiated operations with a fleet of four An-124-100s and three Antonov An-12s, but by the late 1990s it was apparent that there was a need for aircraft larger than the An-124. |
