Indonesia orders 5 more A400Ms
The local press is widely reported, the Indonesian government has reportedly approved the purchase of five Airbus A400M Atlas military transport planes. The contract is valued at two billion dollars, according to our Indonesian colleagues and the specialized journal Jane's (read here). This purchase was mentioned in May 2016 by the Indonesian Prime Minister (read again here).
Indonesia therefore becomes the A400M's second export customer, after Malaysia, whose use of the device by its air force will certainly have played a role in the Indonesian decision. The local air force is already familiar with Airbus, operating fleets of CN-235 and C-295 military light transport aircraft. A production chain has even been installed in the country, and which could be requested in this new contract.
