A look into the future

Airbus has worked closely with the Bundeswehr in recent years. Today, the A400M can be used as a flying hospital and air landing operations. It has proven to be indispensable, especially during evacuation missions from Kabul and Sudan or in the support of natural disasters in Turkey and Libya. In addition, the future viability of the A400M is being worked on to continue to establish it as a multi -talent in modern warfare.

Airbus also plans to build a new maintenance center in Wunstorf, which is to be put into operation in mid-2027 to further improve technical support, maintenance and spare parts management for the A400M fleet.
