11 July 2011: Angara Airlines Flight 9007, an Antonov An-24 (registration RA-47302) operating from Tomsk to Surgut, Russia, suffered an in-flight engine fire, prompting the crew to ditch the aircraft in the Ob River.

An example of the cost of shipping cargo by An-225 was over 2 million kr. (about €266,000) for flying a chimney duct from Billund, Denmark, to Kazakhstan in 2004. [45] During 2016, Antonov Airlines ceased cooperation with Air Foyle and partnered with Volga-Dnepr instead. This led to the An-225's blue and yellow paint scheme, added in 2009.
Antonov decided to install less powerful D-436-148FM engines on the first An-178 prototype, perhaps as an interim measure. The D-436-148FM is a derivative of the production-standard D-436-148 with an upgraded fan, which boosted the takeoff thrust to 7,800 kgf; it has an emergency power rating of 8,580 kgf. [8] [9]
