Are there any companies that fly the Antonov 225?

SORRY MAN. I LOOKED FOR AN HOUR ON THIS ONE. FOUND A LOT OF SPECS AND PHOTOS. I READ THAT WHEN THE USSR COLLAPSED, THE UKRAINE BECAME THEIR OWN COUNTRY. AND SINCE THE ANTONOV DESIGN BUREAU WAS LOCATED IN THE UKRAINE. THERE IT STAYED. EVERYTHING I FOUND SAID IT WAS SITLL IN THE HANDS OF THE ANTONOV DESIGN BUREAU.

Interestingly, Volga Dnepr (THE heavy-lift operator of the world) is asking Antonov to start production of the An-225 again because they have demand for jobs for that aircraft.
But as far as I know, no company flies the 225.

The An 225,in common with all Russian aircraft,has de-icing "boots" and a full suite of de-icing equipment installed by the manufacturer.Considering the weather conditions in Russia,the Russians have all the knowledge required to cope with weather extremes.

No there is no company that runs it .
They are being left as decaying monuments somewhere in Ukraine since the collapse of the USSR.

Considering there are only two, and one isn't scheduled to fly until 2008, no.
