The An72 has STOL capabilities: its takeoff roll is 620 metres (2,030 ft) and its landing run is 420 metres (1,380 ft). This aircraft was designed to be used on unprepared surfaces: its robust undercarriage and highflotation tyres allow operations on sand, grass, or other unpaved surfaces.. In January 1997 and 1998, the ParisDakar rally was assisted by two An72 aircraft.
