Antonov Airlines celebrates 30th anniversary
Antonov Airlines has turned 30 and is celebrating aviation milestones as the company looks forward to future endeavours in the dynamic breakbulk and air cargo market.
The airline, founded in 1989, has since pioneered the air transport of outsize and heavy cargo across the globe, holding the record for heaviest single piece of cargo ever flown.
Graham Witton, managing director of Antonov Airlines, declared: "As we look back on thirty years of Antonov Airlines, and the projects that we have completed, we see one of our strengths is the flexibility of our business to adapt to changing markets. We are transporting more outsize cargo than ever before. The shipments range from wind turbine components to city centre trams, and practically anything in between. We are also moving further into the aerospace industry as digital communications become more integral in the global economy." (mw)
