Malaysia’s Big Lifter Makes Overseas Debut

Dominating one end of the static display is the Airbus Defence & Space A400M airlifter from the Royal Malaysian Air Force, making its first overseas appearance following a public debut last March at the Langkawi show in Malaysia. The RMAF received its first aircraft that month, having been among the launch customers for the type with an order for four. The aircraft here is the second machine for Malaysia, recently delivered to No. 22 Squadron at Subang. A400Ms have now been handed over to France, Malaysia, Turkey and the UK, with Spain shortly to join the list.
