Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The cluster links near-term C-390 sustainment/training investment in Europe with the next phase of NATO-aligned airpower modernization, affecting how Sweden and Austria prepare crews for operating an expanding transport fleet.
  • Sweden’s Ukraine-driven Gripen C/D-to-Gripen E delivery sequencing (starting 2027) and its parallel push for additional Gripen E jets to replace Ukraine-bound aircraft directly shape procurement timelines and force planning.
  • Embraer’s training-systems deal expands the industrial scope of C-390 deliveries beyond airframes, highlighting training infrastructure as a key enabling cost and capability for multi-country fleets.
