Airbus Military said in a statement it will begin delivery of the aircraft from 2011.

The Egyptian Air Force has selected the C295 because of its ease of maintenance and proven operational capabilities, especially in desert areas.

Its versatility and adaptability to the most varied type of conditions and operations were another key element in the selection of the Airbus Military C295, according to the statement.

The new generation C295 will be used to increase the Egyptian Air Force’s capacity in tactical and logistic transport.
