Czech Republic Acquires Two Embraer C-390 Aircraft
Embraer C-390 Millennium Multi-Mission Aircraft

The Czech Ministry of Defense (MoD) has finalized a contract for the acquisition of two Embraer C-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft.

The C-390 aircraft are designed for tactical transport of troops, vehicles, and equipment, as well as medical evacuation, firefighting, disaster management, humanitarian support, and air-to-air refueling.

Defence Minister Jana Černochová stated, “Past and present history clearly shows us that the military needs to be able to transport people and heavier cargo over longer distances. Evacuations from Afghanistan and Sudan are clear evidence of this. I am therefore very pleased that we have managed to acquire aircraft for our Air Force that are capable of performing these tasks.”

In addition to the aircraft, Embraer will supply a comprehensive training and support package to ensure smooth integration into the Czech Air Force fleet. The C-390 features a maximum payload capacity of 26 tons and a top speed of 470 knots.
