Airbus is promoting its C295 maritime surveillance aircraft (MSA) to the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) in the first part of a regional tour in which the company aims to promote the platform's intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (ISR) capabilities to Asian military operators.

The C295 MSA arrived in Thailand on 3 July, and is being displayed at the RTN's U-Tapao Air Base in Chonburi before similar promotional visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, and South Korea – all countries with stated maritime patrol requirements. Subsequently, Airbus will promote the aircraft to North American operators.

"During its tour, the C295 will demonstrate its advanced ISR capabilities as well as the platform's versatility and suitability for potential operators, especially in the Asian region," Airbus said. The company is also promoting the aircraft to meet regional requirements to enhance surveillance, search and rescue, transport, medical evacuation, and humanitarian missions.

Airbus said the aircraft on display in Thailand is a model of the platform recently delivered to the Brazilian Air Force to meet its search and rescue and maritime patrol requirements.

Airbus said it sees opportunities to supply the aircraft to the RTN, which is expected in the coming years to replace its ageing fleets of Dornier 228 and Fokker F27 Friendship patrol craft, which were acquired from the 1980s onwards.

In addition, Airbus said it is seeking to expand sales of the C295 military transport aircraft to the Royal Thai Armed Forces. The Royal Thai Army (RTA) took delivery in June 2016 of a single C295W transport aircraft, although it is understood that the service requires three additional platforms.

    1. Air bus bukan gombal sajaa tapi penipu ulung ..duluunya pesawat angkut baling 2 c295 gak laku di pasaran ...sasaran target market besar indonesia tapi pejabat nya dari saman orba gampang di suap sogok singkat cerita : lewat pt DI hanya jadi tangan kepanjangan air bus di mulai proyek besar pengadaan pesawat angkut baling 2 c295 buat tni au .

      Hapus
    2. Dulu ga laku? Sebelum Indonesia (delivery pertama September 2012) udah ada Kolombia (6 biji, delivery pertama April 2009), Czech Republic (4+2, delivery 4 pesawat pertama 2010), Mesir (20 biji, delivery pertama September 2011), sama Polandia (17 biji, delivery pertama 2003) dan sampai sekarang udah diproduksi 136 biji. Lumayan banyak buat pesawat angkut militer.

      Market besar di Indonesia? 8 biji itu proyek besar? Masih jauh lebih gede India yang beli 56 biji, Mesir 24 biji, Polandia 17 biji, Kanada 16 biji, Mexico 15 biji, Spanyol 13 biji, sama Portugal 12 biji.

      Masih untung Indonesia cuma beli 8 biji dikasih ijin produksi secara lisensi (alias ngerakit) karena pt. DI partner Airbus. Dari semua negara di atas cuma India yang juga dikasih rakit sendiri. India beli 16 siap pakai dan 40 sisanya dirakit di India.

      Jangan cuma asal jeplak dasar biji. Suap sogok dari jaman orba pala lu segede biji. Suap sogok mah udah dari jaman penjajahan Portugis. Lu kira orde lama kaga ada suap sogok? Sama aja cuma bedanya suap sogoknya sama Uni Soviet. Dasar bego otak segede biji. Biji.

      Hapus
