Burkina Faso Reinforces its Military Transport Capabilities

The Ministry of Defence of Burkina Faso has placed a firm order for one Airbus C295 military airlifter.

As part of its 2018-2022 Military Acquisition Law, the Burkina Faso Air Force will reinforce its military transport capabilities by joining the family of Airbus C295 operators.

The C295 is adapted to perform in the harsh sub-Saharan Africa operating environment. Together with its affordable maintenance and operational costs, the C295 is the perfect match for the climatic conditions of Burkina Faso.
