The official ceremony for the delivery of the first C-27J Spartan to Peru’s Air Force was held on March 27, 2015, in Lima, at Las Palmas airbase.
The event has seen the participation of the Peruvian Defence Minister Pedro Cateriano Bellido, the Commander-in-Chief of the Peruvian Air Force General Dante ArĂ©valo Abate, the Italian Defence Minister Roberta Pinotti, the Italian Ambassador in Lima Mauro Marsili, and Alenia Aermacchi’s Vice General Manager, Massimo Ghione.
This aircraft is part of the contract signed between Alenia Aermacchi and the FAP in December 2013. In December 2014 a second contract was signed for two additional C-27Js bringing to four aircraft the number of these planes ordered by the Peruvian Air Force (FAP).
The C-27J has been selected thanks to its capability of operating safely and efficiently and at competitive costs in all operational scenarios of this Latin American country, including activities on semi-prepared airstrips of the Andes and of the many local airports, at high altitudes and with hot weather. The FAP will employ the C-27J as a strategic asset in passenger and cargo transport, humanitarian, firefighting, search and rescue and internal security missions.
