Spanish A330 MRTT Fleet Complete: Ex-Iberia Airliners Now Refuel Spain's Eurofighters

Airbus delivered Spain's third and final A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport aircraft in October 2026, completing a three-aircraft acquisition based on former Iberia A330-200 passenger jets. Converted at Airbus facilities in Getafe, the aircraft are operated by the Spanish Air and Space Force's 45th Wing from Torrejón and use underwing hose-and-drogue refueling equipment. The tankers can refuel compatible combat aircraft, including Spain's Eurofighters and F/A-18s, while also supporting passenger transport, medical evacuation and other air-mobility tasks. The delivery completes Spain's initial MRTT fleet order rather than announcing a new aircraft purchase or a different tanker variant.
