Airbus Military is on track to deliver Malaysia's first A400M aircraft in 2015, with all four ordered by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) to arrive by 2016, the company confirmed today.
Airbus Military Head of Media Relations Maggie Bergsma said the RMAF has been involved with the programme from the early stages and is fully participating with the Airbus Military teams to prepare for the delivery and entry into service.
"As for all of our customers, the transition is a lap from older technologies to the ultimate technology of the A400M.
"Our A400M FISS (Full In Service Support) is designed to provide our customers with all services needed for the operations of the aircraft and we are in discussions with Malaysia on this already to ensure that this is all set in place in time for the delivery," Bergsma said.
