Mar 13, 2007 (newstodate): Iceland's Keflavik Airport is a favorite stop-over and night stop for large cargo aircraft.
Ukraine's Antonov Airlines and the Russian Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Polet Airlines that operate the Antonov AN-124 make regular stops at Keflavik, which provides JP-8 fuel required by many military aircraft, as well as the regular Jet A1.
Antonov Airlines recently used Keflavik for transshipment of bulky American-made oil industry equipment destined for the fields of Saudi-Arabia from an AN-124 to a smaller Antonov AN-22 that carried the shipment on to its destination.
Also IL-76 operators including Azerbaijan's Silkway Airlines in Azerbaijan and the Russian carrier Atlant-Soyuz Airlines make regular stops at Keflavik.
