"The crews of the Ilyushin-76 long-haul jets have been redoubled for flights during the daytime and nighttime over the distances exceeding 4,000 km," it said. "Engaged in the snap inspection are the planes and jets Antonov-124, Antonov-22, Ilyushin-76, Antonov-72, Antonov-12, Antonov-26 of the airlift aviation."
