Airbus Military:

The Colombian Air Force has ordered one more Airbus Military C295 to add to the five examples already ordered for use on military transport and humanitarian aid duties.

Since accepting its first C295 in 2008 the CAF has steadily increased its fleet of the type and now operates four with two more to be delivered. It also operates six Airbus Military CN235-200s and six of the smaller C212.

Airbus Military Senior Vice President Commercial, Antonio Rodríguez-Barberán, said: “This second C295 order from Colombia in 2012 is deeply satisfying and confirms the C295´s excellent reputation with the Colombian Air Force.”

This latest order brings the number of Airbus Military C295s and CN235s sold this year to 32 and takes total C295 orders to 115, with 93 currently in operation in 15 countries.
