Ever wondered what the worlds biggest airplane looks like? Well, nows your chance to see the Antonov as it arrived at Edmonton International Airport today carrying cargo for Agrium. The shipment from Berlin to Edmonton was coordinated by our clients at Schenker of Canada. To give you some perspective, the Antonov can carry 45 African elephants. Or seven humpback whales. Or more than the equivalent of three fully-loaded 737s. The Antonov An-225 is the longest, heaviest airplane in the world – and is the only one of its kind. Built in Ukraine in the 1980s, the An-225 was originally designed to carry the Soviet Union’s space shuttle, but now charters oversized cargo across the globe. #AirplaneGeek #Antonov
