MADRID (BNS): Airbus Military has received an order for six additional C295 transport aircraft from the Egyptian Air Force, bringing the country's C295 fleet to a total of 12 aircraft.

This third batch of aircraft plus the associated spares and support equipment, training and field support are to be delivered from the end of 2013 onwards.

According to Airbus Military, the C295 has accumulated more than 120,000 flying hours in the most demanding conditions, from extreme cold weather to hot desert areas.

The medium sized tactical airlifter provides wide versatility and flexibility, necessary for transportation of personnel, troops and cargo, medical evacuation or paratroop air-dropping.
