Melo highlights that the partnership in the KC-390 project generates profit for Portugal
“Portugal is part of the construction of the KC-390 and also benefits from the profit, which shows that it is a very good, very advantageous partnership, and it has been proven that this aircraft is increasingly sought after and desired by many allied countries,” stated Nuno Melo.
With Sweden’s Minister of Defense, Pål Jonson, by his side, the Portuguese official spoke to journalists at the end of a visit both made to the 506 Squadron of the Portuguese Air Force (FAP), which operates the KC-390, at Air Base No. 11 in Beja.
Sweden’s acquisition of four KC-390 aircraft, announced in April, will generate approximately 45 million euros for Portugal, a partner country of Embraer in the construction of these aircraft.
