Before dawn on the 19th, the world's largest transport aircraft loaded with artificial satellites landed at Kitakyushu Airport . Around 1 am on the 19th, it was the world's largest transport aircraft, the Antonov AN-124-100 , that landed at Kitakyushu Airport in a way that cut through the darkness . Antonov is a super-large transport aircraft with a total length of about 69 meters and a width of about 75 meters developed by the former Soviet Union, and can carry various cargoes. This time, Antonov carried an artificial satellite manufactured in France, which will then be transported by ship to Tanegashima in Kagoshima Prefecture and launched into space. ◆ Mr. Tomoyasu Takaoka, Airport Planning Division, Kitakyushu City "I am very pleased that we have worked hard to attract charter flights using the world's largest freighter." Kitakyushu Airport has accumulated a track record of using large transport aircraft. Our policy is to become a distribution base in the Kyushu and West China regions.
