The Swedish Ministry of Defense has announced that it will purchase the C-390 Millennium from Brazilian manufacturer Embraer as a new tactical transport aircraft.
With this decision, Sweden is the first country in Northern Europe and the sixth European NATO member to rely on the versatile transport aircraft. The choice of the C-390, which is characterized by high mission capability and reliability, supports Sweden's goal of strengthening defense capabilities in an increasingly tense geopolitical situation.
The C-390 Millennium offers flexibility for a wide range of tasks, including troop and cargo transport, medical evacuation and logistical support. It is already in service in countries such as Brazil and South Korea, where it is field-proven with an operating rate of over 93 percent and high reliability. Embraer's long-term partnership with Sweden is further strengthened by this order and includes extensive synergies in training and logistics, which should also improve interoperability with other NATO countries.
