Ruslan International, which manages and markets the combined Antonov An-124 fleets of its shareholders Antonov Airlines and Volga Dnepr Airlines has moved a 101-tonne oil platform component from Bergen (Norway) to Busan (Korea) on an An-124 flight.

The offset centre of gravity also required special approval from the aircraft’s designers, Antonov Design Bureau.
