Australia buys 10 C-27J
The Royal Australian Air Force will buy ten C-27J transport aircraft to replace the DHC Caribous it retired in 2009. Deliveries of C-27J will begin in 2015.
The Austalian Minister for Defence Stephen Smith and Minister for Defence Materiel, Jason Clare announced that the Government had agreed to purchase 10 Alenia C-27J Spartan Battlefield Airlift aircraft at a cost of $1.4 billion.
The C-27J will replace the Caribou aircraft which was retired from service in 2009 after a career spanning more than four decades. The C-27J complements the capabilities of the C-130 and C-17 aircraft and uses common infrastructure and aircraft systems such as engines, avionics and the cargo handling systems.
The acquisition of the C-27J will significantly improve the ADF’s ability to move troops, equipment and supplies. The C-27J has the capacity to carry significant load and still access small, soft, narrow runways that are too short for the C-130J or runways which are unable to sustain repeated use of larger aircraft.
