The Antonov, world’s largest plane, lands at Ben Gurion Airport
The world’s largest plane just landed at Ben Gurion International Airport.
The Antonov An-225 — built in the 1980s in Soviet Ukraine and the only one in existence — arrived from the US, carrying US army trucks that will be fitted with Iron Dome parts for use by the US military. They will later be flown back to America.
