The C-390 Millennium is a tactical transport aircraft that has set new standards in its category. The C-390 Millennium is a latest generation multi-mission military airlifter. It offers unrivaled mobility and payload, rapid reconfiguration, high availability, and optimized management to reduce operating costs throughout its lifecycle.

In addition to the Brazilian Air Force, the Portuguese and Hungarian Air Forces have both acquired the C-390 Millennium. These aircraft will be fully NATO-compatible and be configured for air to air refueling. In June 2022, the Dutch Ministry of Defense announced the selection of five C-390 Millennium aircraft to replace its current fleet of transport aircraft. The rigorous research and analysis process of the Netherland’s Ministry of Defence highlighted the aircraft’s performance and operation output and concluded that “the C-390 has higher availability and needs considerably less maintenance. This means that more hours can be flown with the same number of aircraft. The C-390 has a multi-mission concept, whereby the required mission types are incorporated in a standard configuration”.

The A-29 Super Tucano is a light attack, reconnaissance, and advanced training aircraft. More than 260 units have been delivered and the aircraft has been selected by more than 16 air forces around the world, including the United States Air Force.
