Rafael Tentor, Airbus Military Head of Programmes Light & Medium and Derivatives vice president, said the delivery represented a significant milestone in the company’s collaboration with the Indonesian aerospace industry.

Designated as CN-295, the aircraft will be operated by the air force to conduct a wide range of operations, such as military, logistical, humanitarian and medical evacuation missions.

As part of the contract, the two companies will also set up a service and delivery centre and a final assembly line in Indonesia along with a joint venture to market the C295 in the region.

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW127G turboprop engines, the C-295 is an EADS CASA twin-turboprop tactical military transport aircraft designed to conduct tactical airlift, search & rescue (SAR), and maritime patrol and environmental surveillance missions.
