Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent estimate he has made of the (a) cost of and (b) timeframe for adapting the Atlas A400M fleet to meet the full functionality of the C-130J fleet.
This question was answered on 23rd May 2023
The Atlas A400M is a versatile, modern and capable aircraft with a longer range and bigger capacity than the Hercules C-130J, offering the opportunity to approach those tasks carried out by the Hercules C-130J in a different manner, so will not simply replicate how the Hercules C130J currently delivers its mission set.
