(*) … fab.mil.br … KC-390 Millennium realiza testes no frio extremo do Alasca …Brazilian air force KC-390 in Alaska for cold weather testing ...
By Garrett Reim ... 12 February 2021 ...
The Brazilian air force has sent one of its Embraer KC-390 Millennium transports to Fairbanks, Alaska, for cold weather testing.
The aircraft arrived just south of the Arctic Circle on 8 February and tests were planned for the duration of the following week, the Brazilian air force said on 10 February (*).
The in-development Boeing 777X commercial airliner is also in Fairbanks for cold weather testing.
“The test itself serves to verify how the aircraft operates in extreme cold situations that can reach -33°C (-27.4°F),” says the Brazilian air force.
“The [isolated] parts of the aircraft and possible cracks caused by the cold will be studied.”
Embraer delivered the fourth KC-390 to the Brazilian air force in December.
Brasilia has ordered 28 examples of the medium-lift transport in total.
Beyond Brazil, Hungary signed a deal for two KC-390s in November.
Portugal ordered five KC-390s in 2019.
Embraer has struggled to gain additional commitments to buy the aircraft beyond an early flurry of letters of intent and orders.
The company has 33 letters of intent outstanding that it is working to convert into firm orders.
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic and aviation services firm SkyTech have signed letters of intent.
… ainonline.com … Brazil To Cut KC-390 Airlifter Order …The Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB, Brazilian air force) is reducing its order for the Embraer KC-390 airlifter.
The decision, which was revealed in a notification on May 26, is driven by budgetary constraints that have arisen as a result of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Brazil has been one of the hardest-hit nations by the health crisis, and the cost has caused “direct limitations on the strategic projects of the armed forces” according to the notification.
The number of KC-390s on order - which stands at 28 - “has proved to be superior to the budgetary reality of the Force, both for acquisition and for logistical support over time.”
No details of the final number were given ...

… ainonline.com … C-390M Chosen for Netherlands Airlifter Replacement …The Netherlands defense ministry has selected the Embraer C-390M Millennium as its desired successor for its current fleet of four Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules transport aircraft.
The choice was communicated to the House of Representatives by defense secretary Christophe van der Maat in a June 16 letter.
The intention is to have the first C-390M delivered in 2026.
However, it has not been revealed if the aircraft would be acquired as KC-390s with optional inflight refueling capability.
The need to replace the C-130Hs of 336 Squadron of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, royal air force) has become increasingly urgent in recent years as the fleet’s availability rates have fallen.
Originally the C-130Hs were due to fly until 2031, but in 2020 the decision was taken to replace them earlier.
The acquisition of new airlifters formed one of the main elements of the recently published defense white paper, which also specified an increase in numbers from four to five.

In a press release (*) at the beginning of AFA’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference, the two companies said they have signed an agreement to expand the KC-390’s capabilities, including advanced boom operations and mission systems and resilient communications.
The KC-390 currently has a “probe and drogue” refueling system and is flown by the Brazilian Air Force.
Hungary and Portugal have both ordered tankers as well.
The new “Agile Tanker” will address Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s operational imperatives and support the Air Force’s plans for ACE and Joint all-domain command and control, executives said.

By Ryan Finnerty (FlightGlobal) - 21 October 2022
The Brazilian air force (BAF) has further reduced the number of cargo transports it intends to purchase from domestic airframer Embraer.
The manufacturer, based in Sao Jose dos Campos, said on 21 October it agreed to a contract change trimming the number of KC-390 transports the BAF intends to acquire by three aircraft.
The new terms mean the service will purchase 19 of the medium-transport jet, down from the previous agreement of 22.
The BAF originally intended to acquire 28 KC-390s, but dropped the figure to 22 in November 2021.
Brazilian officials had been seeking to trim their order even further, to 15 of the type, but ultimately agreed on 19.
In financial disclosures, Embraer says the new deal eliminates the risk of additional order reductions by the Brazilian government, while preserving its financial outlook.
