The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) officially received its first of four Airbus A400M military transport aircraft, ordered from Airbus Defence and Space on March 17, 2015.

Chief of RMAF, General Dato’ Sri Roslan Saad, officially took over the aircraft from Bernhard Gerwert, CEO of Airbus Defence and Space. The ceremony took place at the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA) 2015 in the presence of the Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato’ Sri Najib Razak and Minister of Defence Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

Malaysia is the first export customer of the A400M outside of the original launch nations. The occasion also marked the debut of the A400M at LIMA 2015. The technologically-advanced airlifter had earlier performed a special fly-past at the show’s opening ceremony.
