That was the essence of my question.

Why would you want to use an An-124 for 5 times (or probably even more) to fly such a small payload. An-124 only comes into its own right when loading absolute outsize cargo that no other aircraft can.

Even two IL-76 flights also with outsize capability and 90 tons combined, will perform cheaper.

B747-200NF at about same payload will perform same flight for half/two thirds the cost if it can fit height of load.

For your load DC-8-63F out of OST you will get best value for money, or by DC-10F out of XCR, otherwise IL-76 out of XCR or CHR.

If not charter you will probably deliver cheapest on Emirates via DXB to NBO.
