The Peruvian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released funds to procure a second batch of two Alenia C-27J Spartan medium transports for the Peruvian Air Force (FAP), according to local press reports on 25 November.
The second batch of C-27J Spartans will cost USD123 million and add to the previous two ordered in November 2013 under a USD122 million contract.
The first batch is expected to be delivered in March 2015, so it is likely the second batch will arrive around 12 months after that.
The C-27Js will be operated by Transport Squadron 844, which is currently being formed and will operate out of the airbase at Lima-Callao.
