Procurement aims to restore lost training and operational capacity following Saab 105 retirement

Austria downsizes its Hercules fleet and turns to Portugal for temporary airlift support as it prepares to introduce the C-390 Millennium

Cooperation agreement should make the aircraft cheaper and deliverable in a shorter timeframe, the Defense Materiel Administration said. The European country's Air Force will have four Embraer aircraft

Embraer held a ceremony at its facilities in Brazil to mark the start of production of the first of four multi-role aircraft for the European country

The purchase was confirmed by Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer. The training aircraft will fill the gap left by the retirement of the Saab 105s in 2020

Contract for the acquisition of nine aircraft was signed with Embraer during the Farnborough Airshow after two years of talks

Defense Secretary Christophe van der Maat stated in a letter to parliament that the C-130 replacement program was delayed, but the cost became lower with Austria joining

The Austrian and Dutch Defense Ministries signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate in the acquisition of nine Millenium aircraft, which will replace the C-130 Hercules

Three countries have already announced the selection of the tactical transport aircraft, but agreements are still pending with the Netherlands, Austria and the Czech Republic, totaling eleven jets

Minister of Defense, Klaudia Tanner, announced that Brazilian aircraft will replace the three C-130K Hercules turboprops that have been in service for 20 years
