IAF chief in Spain to take delivery of India's first tactical airlift plane on Wednesday
The formal induction ceremony of the twin-turboprop C-295 transport aircraft, which can carry up to nine-tonne of payload or 71 soldiers with a "short take-off and land" capability from semi-prepared surfaces in hilly terrain, will take place at the Hindon air-base on September 25. Induction of the C-295s, which will gradually replace the old Avro-748 fleet, in the 2023-31 timeframe will boost the IAF's tactical airlift capability along the border with China.
