I was thinking that it’s inefficient to transport equipment from the Netherlands to mostly Asia, but any place they’d be located would be importing part from around the world. And the cost to ship one of these things is probably a rounding error in the price.
It’d be interesting for them to partner with Antonov to build a second An-225. Maybe the economics would make sense instead of needing to ship via multiple 747s.
