(16 Nov 2021)
The United Arab Emirates Air Force & Air Defence
has ordered two additional Airbus A330MRTT (Multirole Tanker
Transport) aircraft, increasing the country’s MRTT fleet to five
aircraft.
United Arab Emirates Air Force & Air Defence Airbus A330MRTT (Multirole Tanker Transport)
Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2024.
“Since its entry into service in 2013 with the UAE
Air Force, the A330 MRTT has delivered much more than initially
expected, meeting our customer’s operational needs. This repeat
order, added to the growing MRTT customer base, confirms the
suitability of our platform as the world’s tanker of reference,”
said Bernhard Brenner, Executive Vice President Marketing and
Sales at Airbus Defence and Space.
The A330 MRTT combines the advanced technology of
a new generation tanker with the operational experience
established over more than 250,000 in-service flight hours.
The
A330 MRTT is interoperable with receivers worldwide and delivers multi-role capabilities, proven most recently during the
recent MEDEVAC and strategic transport missions during the
COVID19 crisis.
