Airbus announces the signing of two strategic contracts with the Organisation Conjoint de Coopération en matière d'Armement (OCCAR) to support the A400M program.
The first contract, A400M Global Support Services (GSS3), covers all A400M users and replaces a 2019 agreement.
It offers a range of services optimized by Airbus to meet the needs of customer nations, with performance indicators to maximize fleet availability and reduce operating costs.
The second contract, Block Upgrade 0, aims to improve the capabilities of the A400M, including flight management, compatibility with NATO standards, and the addition of features such as the satellite communication system and Wi-Fi.
This new framework agreement meets this growing requirement. With 130 A400Ms in service and more than 200,000 flight hours for the fleet, the new agreement enables our customers to achieve significant savings while maintaining the same level of high-quality service and performance', commented Jean-Brice Dumont, Airpower Director at Airbus Defence and Space.
