Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • It expands Royal Thai Air Force tactical airlift capacity with two more C295s, with deliveries slated for H1 2029—key for fleet planning, basing, and sustainment budgeting.
  • For Airbus Defence & Space, the order reinforces C295 momentum in Southeast Asia and underlines demand for near-term tactical transport capacity.
  • The Thai procurement also fits the broader C295 industrialization and delivery timeline seen in other markets, such as India’s domestically assembled C295 milestone ahead of flight testing (India completes first locally assembled Airbus C295 at Tata-Airbus; aircraft heads to flight-testing for IAF tactical airlift).
