Brazilian C295 fleet reaches 25,000 flight hours

November 01-15, 2011

Brazilian C295 fleet, consisting of 12 Airbus Military aircraft, has reached 25,000 flight hours after six years of successful operation in Amazonia and Mato Grosso, two big areas where these airplanes are vital for the local population.

These aircraft are working in particularly difficult environments, carrying out operations like the transport of basic necessities, medical evacuation and military missions, from the bases of Manaus – in Amazonia–and Campo Grande – in Mato Grosso – with the support of the maintenance center PAMA Sao Paulo.

“We are very proud to see the C295 operating so successfully with the Brazilian Air Force. Passing these 25,000 flight hours is a clear demonstration of the reliability and versatility the C295 offers to the Air Force, operating in difficult areas”, said Philippe Galland, Airbus Military Head of Customers Services.

The contract between the Brazilian Air Force and Airbus Military was signed in 2005. The contract also included maintenance for five years, which was extended in 2010 for another five years.

Till date, Airbus Military has sold 83 C295 aircraft to 12 different operators.
