Alenia Aermarchi has decided not to offer its C-27J Spartan transport
aircraft to India, telling IHS Jane's that it is too advanced for the
basic requirements of the Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA) programme.
"Alenia
Aermacchi has always worked for the development of its products aiming
at the top of the technology and performances. The C-27J Spartan is the
most modern multimission tactical transport aircraft available on the
market," a company spokesperson said on 31 October.
"The Indian Air Force [IAF] Avro Replacement programme instead calls mainly for a basic medium transport aircraft and, therefore, Alenia Aermacchi decided to not participate to the tender," he added, concluding: "India remains a very strategic market for Alenia Aermacchi proprietary products, including trainers and maritime patrol aircraft."
