As of May 15, the world biggest plane - the Ukrainian Antonov An-225 Mriya - touched down safely in Western Australia amid scenes of traffic chaos around Perth Airport, UNIAN reports referring to the Age (a daily newspaper published in Melbourne, Australia).
«Traffic was gridlocked around Perth Airport on Sunday morning as thousands of people lined up against fences, along road verges and on the side of the road in an attempt to get a glimpse of the Ukraine-built Antonov An-225 Mriya,» the Age writes.
«The monster plane was meant to touch down at Perth Airport at 10am, however its arrival was delayed for almost two hours, with the Antonov landing just before midday at around 11.45am,» it said.
It is to be admitted, just after 10am, traffic was at a standstill with lines several kilometers long heading towards the airport on Tonkin Highway and Great Eastern Highway as crowds flocked to the airport to try and catch a glimpse of the «giant of the skies».
