A400M ENTERS SERVICE
Following Type Certicate and Initial Operating Clearance,
the A400M made its entry-into-service in 2013. Two A400Ms
were delivered to the French Air Force and the aircraft began
service in Mali.
At the end of 2013, ten aircraft were in the nal assembly line and
16 additional aircraft in various stages of production or assembly.
Progressive enhancement of military capability is planned with
subsequent upgrades in line with customer discussions.
An initial contract was signed with OCCAR (Organisation
Conjointe de Coopération en matière d’Armement) acting on
behalf of France, for an 18-month A400M support services
package. Discussions to provide other customers with support
services are progressing.
The current A400M order book comprises 172 aircraft, with
168allocated to the seven launch customer nations and four to one
export customer, Malaysia. Airbus estimates a market potential
for approximately 400 export orders over the next 30 years.
TANKER PROGRESS
In 2013, seven A330 MRTT aircraft were delivered (2012: ve),
including three to the United Arab Emirates. Known as the
“Voyager” in the UK, the A330 MRTT began training for in-ight
refuelling with the UK Royal Air Force.
The MRTT aircraft has been selected as part of a preferred bid
by the Indian Air Force for potentially six tanker aircraft and nal
contractual negotiations are under way. Additionally, the French
Ministry of Defence has announced an intention to order twelve
MRTTs. Campaigns in other countries are on-going.
At the end of 2013, 17 A330 MRTT aircraft were in service with
four countries. Six new orders were booked from Singapore,
bringing the backlog at the end of 2013 to 17 aircraft. Airbus
estimates a potential total export market, excluding the US, of
more than 100 tanker aircraft.

in 2013 (2012: 20), including two CN235 maritime patrol aircraft
for the US Coast Guard, three CN235 transport aircraft and
14C295 aircraft. Three upgraded P-3 Orion aircraft were handed
over to the Brazilian Air Force. Ten new orders were booked,
including one CN235 and nine C295 aircraft.
A number of export campaigns are under way, including
a campaign to replace 56 Indian Air Force transports with
the same number of C295s.
