Greece’s Ministry of National Defence has signed a contract to acquire three KC-390 Millennium military transport aircraft made by Embraer, with an option for three additional aircraft.
The purchase is being made under a government-to-government agreement between Greece and Portugal. Embraer said the first aircraft is due to be delivered to the Hellenic Air Force in 2027.
The aircraft will expand Greece’s airlift and air-to-air refuelling capabilities and improve interoperability with NATO allies. The agreement also involves European cooperation in training, support and logistics.
