Austria, the Netherlands, and Sweden are the latest export customers for the multi-role aircraft
Swedish C-390 aircraft
In addition to the Netherlands and Austria, new NATO member Sweden is a customer for Embraer's C-390 military transport aircraft.

Nine Embraer C-390 Millennium military aircraft ordered by the Netherlands and Austria will be modified by Fokker Services Group (FSG) under an agreement announced by the Brazilian aerospace and defense group on Thursday. The modifications package will prepare the multi-role twinjets for use in tactical transport missions as part of the European countries’ contribution to NATO Special Missions.

These C-390s will be operated by the Dutch and Austrian air forces. Earlier this month, Sweden’s ministry of defense announced the selection of the C-390 as its new military transport aircraft after the country became the latest member of NATO in March. Embraer has not yet announced the modification contractor for this customer or confirmed how many aircraft will be acquired.
