Austria attended the recent user meeting for the Embraer KC-390 Millennium on 28 March, as it looks to finalise a selection decision for its Lockheed Martin C-130K Hercules replacement plan.

The Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa: FAP) hosted the event at Air Base No 11 in Beja, during which Austria joined countries that have already ordered or have committed to ordering the Brazilian-made tanker transport, and discussed co-operation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing on the aircraft.

“During the four days of the event … for sharing experiences and ideas about the aircraft, representatives from Austria, Brazil, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands were present, … as well as the entities involved in the design of the aircraft, especially Embraer,” the FAP said on 29 March.
