Oman orders eight Airbus Military C295 aircraft

Issue No. 11 | June 01-15, 2012

The Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) has signed a contract with Airbus Military for the acquisition of eight C295 aircraft, five of them configured as tactical transports and three as maritime patrol aircraft (MPA). They will be delivered from next year.

As well as upgrading the tactical transport capability of the RAFO in hot and dusty conditions, the aircraft will enhance Oman’s ability to patrol its territorial waters and to conduct missions against piracy, illegal immigration and smuggling.

This new deal means that 108 C295s have now been ordered, with 85 currently in operation with 13 countries.
