MSG-4 left Nice Côte d'Azur on board the Antonov-124 on 28/04/2015 in the morning heading to Dakar with 2 hours delay.
After a re-fueling of the plane in Dakar, the trip continued to Cayenne where the arrival was expected ca between 18:00 and 18:30 local time (21:00 - 21:30 UTC).
Hereunder is the route followed by the Antonov. If not very different form the one followed by the rowers for the famous race "Rames Guyane", it was may be slightly quicker :-)

As expected, the Antonov was approaching the taxi way of Felix Eboué airport at 18:16,
...for a perfect touch down at 18:17!At that time, the MSG-4 teams had already arrived at the Felix Eboué (ex Rochambeau) airport to welcome the Spacecraft and the unloading of the plane could start immediately under the authority of "super" Nicole, the MSG allocated transport manager.
