Volga-Dnepr resumes An-124 operations

A day after Christmas, Volga-Dnepr resumed An-124 operations, ending a month long suspension of operating the type. The airline decided to review all their An-124s and routines after a crash landing of RA-82042 at Novosibirsk on 13 November.

The first of its eleven remaining An-124s to fly again was RA-82077, which flew on 26 December from Leipzig to Shanghai. Since then it has been flying to Moscow and Riga. In the coming weeks, more An-124s will gradually return to service.
