A400M contract amendment finalised with launch customer nations

April 16-30, 2011

EADS and Airbus have welcomed the conclusion of contract amendment negotiations with OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation) and the seven A400M launch customer nations. The contract amendment was signed in Seville by Patrick Bellouard, Director of OCCAR – Executive Agency, and Airbus Military CEO Domingo Ureña, in the presence of Spanish Minister of Defence Carme Chacón. National armament directors and other representatives from customer nations also attended the ceremony.

The contract amendment now implements the changes which were agreed in principle by the participating nations with EADS and Airbus Military in the frame agreement signed on March 5, 2010.

“This is a major milestone, and EADS is proud to have the support of all governments involved in this cooperation programme that represents a strategic capacity for Europe and its defence, and for the new generation of military transport worldwide. The A400M is a fantastic new aircraft already flying with outstanding and unrivalled capabilities”, said EADS CEO Louis Gallois.
