It did a flight out of Munich recently to Kabul, via half a dozen tech-stops. 185T off relief goods if memory serves me.
Edit: now I'm not so sure if it was MUC. Somehow think Stuttgart (STR) was the point of origin... .Can anyone confirm?

Whazzzup CargoOne..?. .We actually know each other very well...you cud never guess!
Tell me, do you really believe that the second 225 is being refitted after being canibalized for so many yrs in Gostomel?
Is it so true that the commercial team is getting that many charter inquiries as quoted in the aviation press or is that a marketing technique?
Aloha

Al Capone,
I wouldn't be surprised if we know each other or at least met each other on some occasions in London <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
What's for second 225 - I really doubt if it happens. Ref your second question - I wonder whether you really know who I'am or not... At least I'm not at HLA/Foile/ADB outfit to answer your question. I can only guess that this bird is not very popular due to pricing.

Al Capone,. .Nope, you are wrong. I'm in airline, however acting as broker sometimes for subchartering <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> . .Never attended BACA lunches but there are some chances that we met somewhere else.

An ACMI rate doesn't really work with this aircraft. I can't see a major carrier using flt numbers of their own on an AN225. I would guess that an all-in rate per hour to be around $ 25-30,000. If you really want an ACMI rate, I would guess circa $15,000/bhr But again, I don't work for them so why don't you give them a call?

Al Capone,
If you know ACMI you can find other costs. Add 1/3 MTOW, 30% fuel burn to AN124 and that's it. I guess 25-27k all in per hour is the right figure.
Anyway I'm not interested in this bird. Just another huge (but real) aircraft with uncertain commercial future.
