The parking fee for a Russian An-124 jet stranded at a Canadian airport in February 2022 due to sanctions has exceeded $330,000, the WSJ reported. Over the year, the cost of parking has risen from $0.55 to $0.58 per minute. Airport officials would have preferred the plane to leave the air harbour, but the Canadian government has no plans to lift the restrictions on its departure.
The cost of parking an An-124 cargo plane of Russia’s Volga-Dnepr Airlines at Toronto airport, which cannot leave because of sanctions, has exceeded $330,000, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The An-124 has been parked at the eastern end of Pearson International Airport for more than a year. The plane arrived in Toronto on Feb. 27, 2022, with a cargo of personal protective equipment from China. Before it could leave, Canada imposed sanctions that closed its airspace to Russian aircraft.
In 2022, each minute the An-124 was parked at a Canadian airport cost $0.55. Since this year, the fee has increased to $0.58, the publication writes.
