Ukraine’s Antonov Airlines will fly 2,000 tons of energy equipment from Chile’s Pacific Coast to the high altitude nation of Bolivia. Under contact with Germany’s Siemens, Antonov will fly 47 gas turbines, steam turbines and steam condensers for three thermal power plants of ENDE Andina: Termoelectrica del Sur, Termoelectrica de Warnes and Termoelectrica Entre Rios. The project is designed to increase Bolivia’s electricity generating capacity by two thirds. For the airlift into the Andes, Kyiv-based Antonov is expected to use its AN-124-100 Ruslan cargo planes, capable of carrying 150 tons.
