Munich, 3 July 2023 – The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) in Koblenz, Germany has awarded Airbus with a contract renewal for the Luftwaffe’s A400M In-Service Support. The contract has a duration of 7.5 years and serves as an extension of the A400M In-Service Support contract that had been in place since December 2014.

“This contract extension shows a long-term commitment of the German government to the A400M. Together with the customer, we have made big strides in recent years to improve availability as well as the operational capabilities of the A400M, which has become an indispensable asset in Germany’s air force inventory”, said Jean-Brice Dumont, Head of Military Air Systems of Airbus Defence and Space. “This contract allows us to deepen our fruitful cooperation which, I believe, can serve as a role model of how industry and customers can work together successfully.”

The industrial technical support of the German Air Force A400M fleet covers a wide range of services provided by the Airbus Support Centre in Wunstorf Air Base and the central Centres of Competence in Getafe, Spain.

Airbus will ensure full coverage of scheduled Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services from its main MRO base in Manching, near Munich as well as at Wunstorf Air Base, near Hannover, Germany and at Hannover Airport.

The contract also foresees the establishment of a new A400M maintenance facility in direct proximity to Wunstorf Air Base. Commencing operations in 2027, the facility will perform MRO services and also host the Airbus A400M Support Centre with a total workforce of approximately 300 who will work hand in glove with suppliers and customer representatives. Construction work will commence with immediate effect.

Germany is the biggest customer of the A400M. Currently, the Luftwaffe operates 40 A400M out of a total of 53 aircraft on order. The entire fleet operates out of Wunstorf Air Base which is home to the Air Transport Wing 62 (Lufttransportgeschwader 62).

„Diese Vertragsverlangerung zeigt, dass sich die Bundesregierung langfristig zur A400M bekennt. Gemeinsam mit dem Kunden haben wir in den letzten Jahren grobe Anstrengungen unternommen, um die Verfugbarkeit und die Einsatzfahigkeit der A400M zu verbessern, die zu einem unverzichtbaren Bestandteil der Luftwaffenflotte geworden ist“, sagte Jean-Brice Dumont, Head of Military Air Systems bei Airbus Defence and Space. „Mit diesem Vertrag konnen wir unsere gute Zusammenarbeit vertiefen, die als Vorbild fur erfolgreiche Kooperation zwischen Industrie und Kunden dienen kann.“

Die industrietechnische Betreuung der A400M-Flotte der deutschen Luftwaffe umfasst eine breite Palette von Dienstleistungen, die vom Airbus-Supportzentrum im Fliegerhorst Wunstorf und den zentralen Kompetenzzentren des Unternehmens in Getafe in Spanien erbracht werden.

Der Vertrag sieht auch die Errichtung einer neuen A400M-Wartungseinrichtung in unmittelbarer Nahe des Flugplatzes Wunstorf vor. Die Einrichtung wird ab 2027 MRO-Leistungen erbringen und auch das Airbus A400M Support Centre beherbergen, in dem rund 300 Mitarbeiter Hand in Hand mit Lieferanten und Kundenvertretern arbeiten werden. Die Bauarbeiten beginnen mit sofortiger Wirkung.
