Mexico Takes Delivery Of 1st Airbus Military C295 Airlifter

Aircraft Number 2 Of Five Will Be Delivered In A Few Weeks

The Mexican Air Force has taken delivery of the first of five C295s ordered from Airbus Military. The aircraft is equipped with a palletized loading system and a medical evacuation kit. The second aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in the coming weeks, with all five handed over to the customer by year end.


Airbus C295 Delivered To Mexico

The Mexican Navy has operated two C295s since 2009. In April this year, it also took delivery of two CN235 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA). Following crew training completion at the Airbus Military Training Center in Seville, these two CN235 MPAs will be ferried to Mexico in the coming weeks. Mexico also operates seven C212 equipped with the FITS (Fully Integrated Tactical System) mission system, five of which are also being used as maritime patrol aircraft. With this latest delivery, Mexico now has a fleet of twelve Airbus Military's Light and Medium Family aircraft.

To date, Airbus Military has sold 82 C295 aircraft to 13 different operators.
