Volga-Dnepr Airlines Antonov An-124 · RA-82046

About This Photo

The primary subject is a large cargo aircraft identified as an Antonov AN-124-100 with visible "Volga-Dnepr" airline branding. The aircraft is parked on the apron, oriented left to right with its nose to the right side of the image. The fuselage is predominantly white with a blue stripe running horizontally from the nose to the tail, featuring both Cyrillic and English text. The Russian flag is visible on the vertical stabilizer. Under the left wing are four jet engines mounted on pylons. Several ground crew members in yellow safety vests and hard hats are working near the aircraft, supported by maintenance platforms and stairs. An orange safety orange fencing posts line the foreground area in front of the entire plane, indicating a restricted or maintenance zone. In the background, various other aircraft are taxiing or parked near airport terminal buildings and hangars. There is a control tower and a distinctive arched terminal structure further back on the left side of the scene. The apron is expansive with clear demarcation and multiple service vehicles, including white vans and ground support equipment, near the Antonov. The sky is clear with bright sunshine, casting sharp shadows on the concrete surface, suggesting midday or early afternoon with no visible clouds or obstructions. The scene captures an active airport environment with an emphasis on large cargo operations.
