Indonesia takes delivery of two Airbus Military C295 aircraft
Indonesia has taken delivery of two Airbus Military C295 transport aircraft ordered in February this year. The aircraft are the first of nine to be delivered to the Indonesian Ministry of Defence under the terms of a contract signed by Airbus Military and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI).
The delivery took place in the Airbus Military San Pablo site in Seville, where the C295 final assembly line is located, at a ceremony attended by the Indonesian Vice Minister of Defence, Lt General (Retd) Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, and Airbus Military Vice President Head of Program Light & Medium and Derivatives, Rafael Tentor.
The aircraft will be operated by the Indonesian Air Force and known in service as the CN295. It will perform a wide variety of roles including military, logistical, humanitarian and medical evacuation missions throughout the huge territory of Indonesia, which includes around 17,000 islands. The delivery of the ninth and last aircraft ordered is scheduled for summer 2014.
Rafael Tentor said: “The delivery of these aircraft is an important step in Airbus Military’s collaboration with the Indonesian aerospace industry and we greatly look forward to increasing our level of cooperation in the years ahead.”
To date, Airbus Military has sold 114 C295s. After the entry in service of these aircraft there will be 88 C295s in operation in 15 countries all over the world.
