India receives last C-295 aircraft from Spain, 2 months early
India just got its 16th and final Airbus C-295 military transport aircraft from Spain—two months ahead of schedule.
This wraps up the first phase of a deal to replace the Indian Air Force's old Avro planes, with officials receiving the aircraft in Seville.
The C-295 can haul up to 10 tons
The C-295 can haul up to 10 tons for 11 hours straight, giving the Air Force a serious upgrade.
While these first 16 planes came from Spain, the next 40 will be built right here in Gujarat by Tata, thanks to a new assembly line launched last year.
