It can be recalled that the PAF ordered three units of C295 from Airbus Defense and Space to further improve its airlift capabilities. After the signing of the contract worth P5.288 billion in 2019, the first unit was delivered to PAF on March 28, 2022 while the second one arrived on Nov. 1, 2022. “These aircraft will surely enhance our air force’s capability to provide prompt and sustained air mobility operations to support troop transport, resupply mission, casualty evacuations, medical evacuations, aerial reconnaissance, and humanitarian and disaster relief operations,” Parreno said.
The PAF chief thanked the national government for their “commitment to support the troops” and the Spanish government for their “dedication to deliver and fulfill their obligations.”
