MRTT Numbers A330

[WGroeneveld]

I’m interested in the MRTT Numbers of the A330 awarded by Airbus Military in Getafe when converting the A330 to tanker transport. Where can I find those numbers? I would much appreciate any tips in this

[RobertMB]

Thank you Robert for your information. I do appreciate it.

There is one thing I don’t understand regarding their list. The french and NATO air forces uses the MRTT numbers in their serials. That doesn’t comply with the giving list.

[RobertMB]

Correct. You can also check the military section here at the Scramble site to find the applied serials.

This list is inconsistent with other sources. Furthermore: both the French and Netherlands airforce derive te serial from the construction number (except fot the sequence numbered ones) which sugests that the list is faulty.

example "MRTT050/1982 : A330-243 MRTT : T-059 : Multi Role Tanker Fleet ( Royal Netherlands Air Force Marks )" see https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8984161

I'm also a bit surprised and also missing a few countries (i think Spain Brazil, Canada)
I believe the MRTT numbers are allocated in order sequence and not production sequence. see the French numbers in 3 blocks.

Perhaps because Spain, Brazil and Canada didn’t buy MRTT’s, but second hand A330’s which are being converted?

Canada bought 5 secondhand and 4 new A330.
The MRTTnumber is the MRTT production number for new and secondhand ones as far as I know.
A few years back I saw a list (can't find it any more) which included also the first allocated USAF aircraft (cancelled KC-45 program).

[michel N]

I saw the Spanish A330s at Getafe before and after conversion, and as far as I can remember, no MRTT code visible. However I think the 3 French second hand A330’s have been given MRTT codes if I remember well.
So maybe it’s just inconsistency?

Those Brazilians are being upgraded to tanker in Brazil itself I think? So probably no MRTT code for them?

[Flyboy]

During the KC-X program Airbus/Northrop Grumman were proposing the KC-45 (=A330MRTT) The first four units would have been converted from passenger versions at EADS EFW in Dresden, Germany. Airbus planned to assemble the aircraft in Mobile, Alabama, after which they would have been modified by Northrop Grumman. (source:wiki)

[Speculation mode on] The number of four to be converted airframes fits the gap of four MRTT numbers in the list. Also to timeline fits reasonably. [Speculation mode off]

[WGroeneveld]

Thank you verry much to all those who contributed to my question about the MRTT numbers

I have read in the magazines that Airbus have retired her own A310 MRTT EC-HLA s/n 489 and that Airbus is converting now an A330 s/n 655 ex T7-TAY to her own company tanker

[ehusmann]

1303 UAE is MRTT065 (https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11439588)

Missing (at least):
c/n 2036 1403 UAE AF EC-346/U5
c/n 2060 ??? Saudi AF

Both already seen in Getafe.

And TK.24-03 is E1 (hasn't ever carried an MRTT number as far as I know).

[WGroeneveld]

Thank you all for the responses, It has helped me a lot!

I can add to it that the following MRTT Numbers were indeed intended for the KC-45 for the United States Air Force:
MRTT-006, later test aircraft for Airbus A330 242
MRTT-007, to KLM PH-AON
MRTT-008, diverted to MRTT-010 Royal Saudi Air Force s/n 2401
MRTT-009, diverted to MRTT-011 Royal Saudi Air Force s/n 2402

On internet I found also the next 2 MRTT numbers
MRTT-065, United Arab Emirates Air Force s/n 1303
MRTT-066, United Arab Emirates Air Force s/n 1304

Thank you all
