The IL76 is an excellent cargo aircraft. It's unique in cargo capacity & loadability. Like Bristolre says the only alternative is the Boeing C-17, but this will not be available for commercial cargo operations, if at all, for many years to come.

To re-engine an IL76 is estimated at US$ 6-8 million, more than it is worth for most IL76 operators.
