Embraer Defense & Security last Friday handed over the sixth KC-390 Millennium to the Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB, Brazilian air force). The delivery involves the first aircraft in the full operational capability (FOC) standard, in which it meets all the requirements set out by the FAB. Embraer will update the previous aircraft to the same standard, and it also deliver export aircraft in FOC configuration.

“It is special to deliver the first aircraft in the FOC configuration to FAB,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, president and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security. “Although FAB has already deployed the aircraft in various different missions, inside Brazil and abroad, it will now be able to fully and definitively take advantage of the full capacity of the C-390, showing the world everything that this aircraft can deliver.”
