NATO To Consider Usage Of Antonov Planes.

This announcement was made by Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, NATO’s Secretary General after a meeting of Nato defence ministers in Brussels on Thursday. He added that this initiative was coming from a number of members, not from the alliance in general. The issue is to be considered at the next NATO summit in November. Concorde Capital: The news came on the back of an announcement by Ukraine and Russia of plans to modernize and re-start serial production of the An-124 “Ruslan” plane. Last year NATO contracted An-124 planes owned by Antonov Airlines (Ukraine) and Volga Dnepr (Russia) to carry humanitarian cargoes.
