Embraer, a global leader in aerospace and defense, offers the C-390 Millennium multi-mission aircraft as the best option for meeting the needs of Gulf countries. This new generation transport aircraft offers an unbeatable combination of greater performance and better productivity with low operational costs.
With its capability to withstand with hot and harsh environments, such as the ones prevailing in the Middle East, coupled with its versatility in executing a wide range of missions such as troop, vehicles and equipment transport, medical evacuation, humanitarian aid, and firefighting the C-390 Millennium is perfectly suited for the region. The aircraft is equipped with an aerial refuelling probe for long range missions and its ability to take off and land on unprepared airstrips combined with two powerful and reliable IAE V2500 jet engines further enhance its suitability for operations in desertic regions.
With a payload capacity of up to 26 tons and a maximum speed of 470 knots (870 km/h), the C-390 Millennium offers the best performance in its category. This outstanding aircraft combines a robust airframe, advanced aerodynamics, fly by wire control system, and state of the art avionics, making it an ideal choice for countries seeking to enhance their operational capabilities anytime, anywhere.
The C-390 is also highly survivable to perform any missions in contested environments. For this, the aircraft is outfitted with an OBIGGS (Onboard Inert Gas Generating System) to prevent fuel tank fires while a complete self-protection suite detects and jams radio frequency and infrared guided missiles. Embraer also paid a special attention to the support and training packages, ensuring a smooth entry into service for the ground and flight crews.
Having accumulated over more than 15,500 flight hours since its entry into service in 2019, with a mission capability rate of 93% and mission completion rates above 99%, demonstrating exceptional productivity in the category, the C-390 Millennium is currently considered one of the most reliable aircraft in the world. It has been adopted by several NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) members such as Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, and the Netherlands, as well as Austria, South Korea, and Brazil.
More recently, two additional European nations selected the C-390 Millennium to modernize its air force capabilities: Sweden and Slovakia.
With its exceptional features and global adoption, the C-390 Millennium stands out as a strategic and reliable choice for Gulf nations, equipped to meet the region’s challenges with efficiency and confidence.
