The Antonovs must not always be able to hop the pond fully loaded. The route that this one took, and another last week which brought 140 tons of power equipment into PTP for EDF, is thorough Iceland. Today's Antonov went through Iceland, Newfoundland, and Bermuda to get to SXM. The one that I tracked last week went through Iceland, Labrador, and Boston before going to Pointe-a-Pitre.
