certification was issued by the CIS Interstate Aviation Committee on 30th of December
1992.[1] Over forty are currently in service (26 civilian models with airlines and 10 firm
orders at August 2006)[2] in Russia, Ukraine, UAE and Libya.
Physically, the An-124 is similar to the American Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, but it has a 25%
larger payload. An-124s have been used to carry locomotives, yachts, aircraft fuselages,
and a variety of other oversized cargoes. The An-124 is able to kneel to allow easier front
loading. Up to 150 tonnes of cargo can be carried in a military An-124: it can also carry
88 passengers in an upper deck behind the wing centre section. However, due to limited
pressurization in the main cargo compartment (3.57 PSI) [3], it seldom carries
paratroopers.[4]

was based at Orly and had operated since 1975. The two companies began operating
under the name AOM French Airlines, although the administrative name was "AOMMinerve S.A.". Minerve was the first airline to compete directly with Air Inter on the
french domestic airline market by opening a Paris (Orly) - Nice route in may of 1990. In
February 1999 Swissair acquired a 49% stake in the airline as a part of its "hunter
strategy". For most of the decade, the airline fiercely competed with Air France on both

huge debts and consequently ceased operating in 2001 (possibly as a result of the bursting
of the dot-com bubble and the early 2000s recession which followed). The airline's final
bankruptcy was approved after several months of strikes and AOM's disappearance was
