Morning Bugs bunny,

To answer your questions to the best of my knowledge:-

Fuel burn - Typically approx. 8 tons per hour (depending on variant & operational climate)

As for Europe (EEC) - As Cargoone says, that's a no no unless special permissions are given. They do operate from some East European countries however the majority are based in the Middle East.

Some aircraf are planned to be re-engined in the near future....however 2 points to make in regards to this:-

1) This has been the rumour for some time.
2) It's very expensive and It may not be economically viable to do so.

It's a shame because the IL76 is a beautifull aircraft and is trully a work horse in every sense of the word. Currently no equivalent on the market.

Hope this has been of help to you.
