Airbus Delivers First A400M to Kazakhstan
Second A400M will be handed over to Kazakhstan in 2026
Airbus Defence and Space has handed over the first Airbus A400M for the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The first of two Airbus A400Ms ordered by Kazakhstan was delivered to the customer at a ceremony in Almaty, south Kazakhstan, after a ferry flight from Airbus’ A400M Final Assembly Line in Seville, southern Spain, a few days earlier.
A second A400M, currently in production, will further strengthen these capabilities on its delivery in 2026.
With the delivery of this aircraft, production number MSN139, Airbus will also provide a full range of maintenance and training support.
Combining the capabilities of both tactical and strategic aircraft, the A400M can transport heavy and outsized cargo on to short, unprepared airstrips, flying at low altitudes or dropping up to 116 paratroopers or 25 tonnes of cargo.
