Kawasaki’s C-2 Makes First Overseas Trip
One of the debutantes at the Dubai Airshow is the Kawasaki C-2, a transport with both strategic and tactical airlift capabilities.
Making its international debut is the first production copy of Kawasaki’s C-2 military transport. The new type was developed to meet detailed requirements of Japan’s Self-Defense Force and entered service last year. It arrived Saturday evening and is on display in the static area.

Having formally completed its development program in March and subsequently inducted into Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) service, the Kawasaki Heavy Industries C-2 jet-powered transport has ventured overseas for the first time, arriving in Dubai on the eve of the 2017 Dubai Airshow to make its debut international appearance.
