Airbus Delivers Two A400M Aircraft In One Day

Marks Beginning Of Celebrations Of The 20th Anniversary Of OCCAR Convention Signature

Airbus has for the first time formally delivered two A400M new generation airlifters to two different nations in one day.

The company handed over the aircraft on March 20  to the European Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR), in charge of the management of the A400M Program, representing Germany and France – at a ceremony in Seville, Spain.

"It is a great pleasure to see two of the leading OCCAR nations receiving these superb aircraft on the same day in a year when the organization is itself celebrating the 20th anniversary of the signature of its Convention," said OCCAR Director Arturo Alfonso-Meiriño. "This is testimony to the effective work performed by OCCAR’s A400M team over many years in managing this exceptionally complex program.”

These latest deliveries were the 60th and 61st A400Ms to be handed over and take the German and French fleets to 18 and 14 aircraft respectively.
