The aircraft touched down at Belfast International Airport at 21:30 BST on Thursday, welcomed by Health Minister Robin Swann, deputy chief medical officer Dr Naresh Chada and the few airport crew still on duty.There was a buzz at Belfast International Airport on Thursday evening, something that's been missing over the past few months.
The colossal plane, thought to be the second largest cargo aircraft in the world, dwarfed parked passenger planes nearby. About 20 airport staff watched as it touched down, with warnings given to cover ears from the plane's roaring engines. The man responsible for refuelling the plane told BBC News NI it would take about two-and-a-half hours to fill it, using 120,000 litres of fuel - an amount that would empty his fuel tanker three times.
It has to be an international response.
