A400M Aircraft
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the Atlas A400M for meeting the military transport requirements of the Royal Air Force.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Atlas has proven very capable in the Air Transport role. With superior range, speed and load capacity, the Atlas Force can deliver a variety of military equipment and vital spare parts.
The Atlas Force has also conducted rapid deployment of humanitarian aid relief to disaster hit regions and efficient evacuations of civilians from regions that had become unstable.
