Spanish Air and Space Force Relies on Airbus to Reach 115 Eurofighters and 27 A400M Transport Aircraft

Spain’s Air and Space Force plans to field 115 Eurofighters by 2035 and has ordered 27 Airbus A400M transport aircraft, according to an Airbus update on existing modernisation programmes. The Eurofighter total includes the 20 aircraft acquired under Halcón I and the 25 ordered under Halcón II, with the latter batch scheduled for delivery between 2030 and 2035. Fourteen A400Ms are already in service with the 31st Wing at Zaragoza, while separate purchases of maritime patrol, surveillance and transport aircraft will consolidate 46 C295s into a single fleet.
