The Aviastar-SP factory in Ulyanovsk, in Russia’s Volga region, will again begin making the An-124-100 aircraft, otherwise known as the Ruslan, Lenta.ru reports. It is the world’s largest commercial cargo plane and was the largest plane of any type in production until the An-225 took that title away from it.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when moving fighter airplanes like the F/A-18 from one theatre to another or from manufacturer to customer was a major undertaking, especially when long overwater legs were concerned.

It seems that the project could be delayed for one or two years due to the global economic situation (should the project ever have had a starting point from which to be delayed).   The announcement came from Dmitry Romanov, investments and external relations minister of Russia’s Ulyanovsk Region, at a news conference on Thursday.

The two major operators of Antonov An124-100 aircraft are benefiting from the continued delays to the Airbus military A400M program.

On Dec 17th the budget committee of the German Bundestag agreed to extend the SALIS – Strategic Airlift Interim Solution – contract by two years to 31 December 2010.  The initial contract was intended to end in January 2009, however delays in the A400M programme has made the extension of the SALIS programme necessary due to increased demand for airlift by NATO European countries.
