Paris 2011: Airbus Military pioneers new support and training models
Airbus Military wants to boost revenue

Airbus Military wants to boost revenue derived from support services from the current 10 to 15 percent of the total to between 30 and 40 percent during the next five years. It is offering to the customers that are buying the A330 tanker and the A400M airlifter a menu of options that have been developed from training and maintenance contracts for the CN235 and C295 military transport aircraft.

According to the European group, integrated service offerings such as these “demonstrably minimize the life-cycle cost” for the aircraft. The recently opened training center at Seville in southern Spain will offer more than 100 courses per year and full-flight simulators.
