Airbus C295 aircraft for India successfully completes its flight in Spain

The first Airbus C295 aircraft for India has successfully completed its maiden flight in Spanish city of Seville, in a significant milestone towards its delivery by the second half of this year. In September 2021, India sealed a nearly Rs 21,000 crore deal with Airbus Defence and Space to procure 56 C-295 transport aircraft to replace the ageing Avro-748 planes of the IAF. Airbus said on Monday that the tactical aircraft took off from Seville on May 5 at 11:45 am local time and landed at 14:45 pm after three hours of flight. Under the agreement, Airbus will deliver the first 16 aircraft in "fly-away" condition from its final assembly line in Seville by 2025 and the subsequent 40 aircraft will be manufactured and assembled by Tata Advanced Systems (TASL) in India as part of an industrial partnership between the two companies.
