Yes, the A330 military variant seems to enjoy the same success with air forces as its commercial versions with airlines. The market is smaller, though.

The Singapore MRTT order is now listed in the order book.
After Qatar and Singapore, India is supposed to be the next candidate for the tanker.

Unfortunately, the news story provides no information about the customer(s) ordering the aircraft, or about the airframes to be modified to MRTT specifications (previous owner, age, number of cycles and flight hours ...). We don't know if it's a new order or a previously announced one.

We don't know if it's a new order or a previously announced one. The article does mention three Saudi Air Force MRTT's and these were brand-new. So I assume (!) the next three will also be new aircraft. Indian or French Air Force could be the possible customers..... |
