South Korea selects the Embraer C-390 Millennium
| § | C-390 is the winner of LTA-II program public tender to provide the Republic
of Korea Air Force with new military transport aircraft |
| § | The country will be Asia’s first C-390 Millennium operator |
Seoul, South Korea, December 04, 2023 –
South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) has announced Embraer’s C-390 Millennium as the winner of
the Large Transport Aircraft (LTA) II public tender to provide the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) with new military transport aircraft.
South Korea is the C-390 Millennium’s first customer in Asia.
Under the signed contract, Embraer will provide an
undisclosed number of C-390 Millennium aircraft specially configured to meet ROKAF’s requirements, as well as services & support
including training, ground support equipment and spare parts. The value of the contract will be included in Embraer’s backlog in
the fourth quarter of 2023.
Embraer will also provide a comprehensive consortium
and offset package including a significant amount of C-390 Millennium parts to be locally manufactured by Korean partner companies and
the development of a local Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) provider.
“We welcome the Republic of Korea Air Force
to the growing number of air forces operating the C-390 Millennium – the most modern military tactical transport aircraft. Day after
day, the aircraft has proven its capability to complete a wide range of missions with great efficiency, serviceability and speed,”
said Bosco da Costa Jr, President and CEO, Embraer Defense & Security. “This is a new era in Brazil-South Korea relations and
together with our Korean partners, we are committed to growing the capabilities of its aerospace and defense industries.”
South Korea is the seventh nation to select the C-390
after Brazil, Portugal, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria and the Czech Republic. The C-390 is redefining military airlift and challenging
the thinking behind current and future generation platforms, with multi-mission capability, reliability and interoperability built by
design.
Since entering operation with the Brazilian Air Force
in 2019 and most recently with the Portuguese Air Force in 2023, the C-390 has proven its capacity, reliability, and performance. The
current fleet of aircraft in operation has accumulated more than 10,800 flight hours, with operational availability of around 80% and
mission completion rates above 99%, demonstrating exceptional productivity in the category.
The C-390 can carry more payload (26 tons) compared
to other medium-sized military transport aircraft and flies faster (470 knots) and farther, being capable of performing a wide range of
missions such as transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian missions,
operating on temporary or unpaved runways such as packed earth, soil, and gravel. The aircraft configured with air-to-air refueling equipment,
with the designation KC-390, has already proven its aerial refueling capacity both as a tanker and as a receiver, in this case by receiving
fuel from another KC-390 using pods installed under the wings.
