Spain and Poland are set to purchase Airbus A330 MRTT (Multirole Tanker Transport) aircraft from each other for a total of 5.4 billion euros, according to an agreement approved by the Spanish government on Tuesday. The deal, which utilizes the Security for Europe Action (SAFE) instrument, incorporates an addendum that includes Poland's participation in this aircraft acquisition, funded according to the SAFE instrument. The agreement will last for seven years from its formalization.
Airbus plans to open a conversion center for A330 MRTT aircraft in Sevilla at the end of next year, following the increase in global demand for these military conversion aircraft. The new center, along with the existing facility in Getafe, will enable Airbus to increase its annual production of converted civil aircraft to the military version from five to seven units.
The center in Sevilla will also handle maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) for these types of aircraft, as well as updates for the already in-service Airbus A330 MRTT.
