The Antonov An-26B is a sturdy twin-engine turboprop tailored for cargo. It handles 5,500 kg of payload over 1,900 km (1,026 NM) while cruising at 420 km/h (227 kts). The cargo hold (1,100 × 230 × 167 cm) and a large side door (230 × 165 cm) allow wide pallet or bulk load flexibility. Ideal for rough or semi-prepared strips in less accessible regions, it supports moderate demand freight in rugged conditions. Because of its legacy in Eastern markets, it also benefits from accessible spares and mechanics in many regions.
