The Czech Republic has selected the Embraer KC-390 Millennium for its future aerial refuelling and fixed-wing medium-lift transport requirements.

The Czech Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Brazilian manufacturer announced the selection on 17 October, saying that negotiations for two aircraft will now begin.

“The Czech Republic intends to acquire two aircraft that will significantly increase its airlift capacity, allowing the Czech army to perform missions such as air transport, air assault operations, aerial resupply, medical evacuation, humanitarian aid, air-to-air refuelling, and firefighting with these aircraft,” Embraer said.

“Negotiations have started with the objective of prospective signing [of] an acquisition contract for two aircraft and associated support, which includes a complete training solution for pilots, loadmasters, and technicians; spare parts; and a robust entry-into-operation plan with a local presence of Embraer personnel in [the] country for an initial period.”
