LONDON – According to Dmytro Antonov, a Captain for Antonov Airlines, the AN-225 Mriya has NOT been damaged during the attacks at Gostomel.
Dmytro posted on Facebook that “the Mriya is whole” following the attacks, with large planes now becoming available.
Such a revelation comes following unconfirmed reports that the Mriya had been destroyed during the Russian MI-8 Helicopter attack on the Antonov base.
The airport has been occupied, however, as mentioned in a previous post on AviationSource.
Of course, this information is yet to be verified by Antonov directly but seems to be good news in the right direction.
Continue to follow AviationSource for more updates as we get it. This is a developing story.
