Antonov Airline’s An-225 Mriya, the world’s largest aircraft, has successfully flown 12 generators over the Andes to central Bolivia, for a thermal power plant in Cochabamba. Loaded each time with cargo weighing up to 160 tons, the Mriya made 12 flights from coastal Chile to Chimoré Airport, an airport with a 4 km strip, no landing lights, serving a farming town of 4,000 people. Hansa Meyer Global Transport GmbH & Co. of Bremen, Germany, chartered the Chile-Bolivia daytime airlift by the world’s only copy of the Mriya.
