29-Oct-2010

October 29: Airbus Military says it has sold three C295 transport aircraft to the Egyptian Air Force for delivery from 2011.

It says the Egyptian Air Force selected the C295 “because of its ease of maintenance and proven operational capabilities, especially in desert areas.

Furthermore, its versatility and adaptability to the most varied type of conditions and operations were another key element in the selection”.

To date 85 C295s have been ordered by 13 customers, 64 of which are being operated in eleven countries.
