On June 17, 2025, Airbus announced that France and Spain had decided to accelerate the purchase of previously postponed Airbus A400M aircraft in order to support the long-term production prospects of this military transport aircraft. According to an Airbus statement, France will purchase four additional aircraft, while Spain will receive three aircraft ahead of schedule.
This step is aimed at ensuring a stable production level of eight aircraft per year until 2028, which will save jobs and support supply chains in the aviation industry. Jean-Brice Dumont, head of anti-aircraft programs at Airbus, stressed that accelerating deliveries is an important element of the strategy to support and develop the military transport fleet in Europe.
The Airbus A400M is a multifunctional transport aircraft capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from transporting troops and cargo to conducting humanitarian missions and refueling in the air. The acceleration of supplies will strengthen the defense capabilities of France and Spain, as well as increase the operational mobility of their armed forces.
