The government wants the first three operating by late 2021. The government team will have to present a detailed report by 26 October identifying the relevant aspects needed to introduce the KC-390 into the Portuguese air force.
The report must identify funding options, associated costs and a schedule to reach initial operating capacity by late 2021. The new cargo planes will bolster capacities in transport, search and rescue, health evacuations and in-flight refuelling as well as firefighting.
